I'm playing 0.05/0.10 at pokerstars when villian sits two seats to my left bringing with him a few grand. It becomes apparent very quickly that he is just raising, 3-betting, and capping every street on every hand. My question is what general adjustments do I need to make in this situation? I know that pocket pairs skyrocket in value as the implied odds go way up. I was calling multiple raises preflop with any pocket pair since I was guaranteed to get paid off to the max with this one opponent, not to mention bets collected from other players.
Here is an example of a hand that I just felt lost during...
Villian is MP2 in case it isn't too obvious...

I would have called the river if the button had folded also...The rest of the hand just felt like chip spewing to me...
