I was playing a heads up table on Full Tilt Poker 5/10 Stud. After observing a player play a couple people he seemed like a tight player. I sat down with a 100 and he switched his money to a 100 to match mine, as I've found conventional for a fair heads up match. After only about 3 hands im dealt two random cards with an ace up, and he has a random low card showing. I decide to complete the bet in order to show strength and he raises and I call. The next card for me is a K, and he has another random card unsuited. I then bet and he calls. Next card was a J, and he gets yet again another random card, I try to push him out again with another bet and he just calls. This goes on while I have all high cards showing until the 7th street, when I bet yet again and get a call. He shows one pair 3's in his hidden initial pocket, and takes down the pot.
Was this smart for him to keep calling with no drawing cards and high cards showing on my hand, or does it seem as if he was merely

He decide to loosing up, for a heads up game. That make sens, playing more hands, and playing to the showdown more often too. It's a ring game, and an heads up.. A pair of 3's....I know it's sad, you should had be able to take it down, around 5 street, after that you should have realize, that he might have 2 pairs or maybe a set and save yourself 2 bets, in that situation.
I'm curious about what happen after that... It would at be great if you had give us every cards. Was he chasing a straight draw, with his pair?.....Anyway.
If you want you can contact me on my site, and give me more information.
take care.

I see this a lot with limit play, especially heads up. You can't really bet a loose player off his hand, and he only is up against one player. You may have to tighten up after a hand like that.I've even seen people call on the river when they can't beat what the other player is showing.
