Can i get my whole stack in here w/o looking suspicious?

First time post, but long time lurker. I hope this is the right forum for this post. clift notes at bottom.

Last Saturday night, I was playing at a local casino, 3/6 limit, with no cap heads up. The table was better than average-lots of calling stations, and I had been running well. The player to the right of me was very drunk, and had lost about 3 racks already, but he was having a good time.

As he kept downing drinks, he started flashing his cards a bit. Nothing on purpose really, just lifting them straight off of the table. Another player has already warned him, as had myself and the dealer.

In this hand, I am on the button with 55. With 4 limps ahead, I limp, and we go to the flop 6 handed. I don't flop a set, and the flop contains 2 clubs. I do have the 5 of clubs. It checks around, and the turn brings another club, at which point the player next to me lifts up his cards as if he was playing a game boy. I am not specifically looking at his cards, but i can clearly see that they are both red. It is checked around again, to the river that brings another club. It checks to me, and i bet, and it folds to the player next to me, who raises. I know he has 2 red cards, so MHIG. I 3 bet, and he 4 bets, when he says, "fold and save your money, ill even show you the Ace."

I figure that i can go another bet or 2 and it'll help out my image-so i 5 bet, he 6 bets, and i 7 bet, and he 8 bets. At this point everyone at the table is getting excited, as these kind of stand downs are not a common occurance.

At this point, if i call, everyone is already going to be like, "wtf, 8 bets with the 5 of clubs?" I have about 20 more big bets in front of me, and he has maybe 16-17. Is it safe to keep raising until he stops w/o looking suspicious?

I'm sure that i saw 2 red cards, and normally, I would call after 4 bets if he hadn't already been warned multiple times.

Clift notes- I have the 5 of clubs on a 4 club board, villian flashes his cards and they are both red, get into a giant raising war on river, how many bets can I go?
