I was an observer in this hand - Commerce 20/40 game. Seat 5 plays a ton of stud, and is for the most part solid, but he plays crazy hours. He can be prone to overplaying his hands. This hand took place on a Saturday. He had been playing non-stop since some time on Thursday. He had converted a real nice stack of $4K plus into maybe $1,000 by then. I am presenting this hand from his perspective.
Seat 3 is a pro, who has been playing for decades. These two guys play against each other all the time. I think Seat 3 is by far the better player. In my time playing against him, I have not seen him do anything stupid or get out of line.
These two ended-up heads up on this hand.

Seat 1 brings-in. Folds to Seat 3 who completes. Seat 5 raises. Everyone else folds. A raise war ensues. Seat 3 stops raising after six bets go in.
