I think raising fourth is best. If the guy behind you has a three-card low, he may peel for one bet but not two. If he folds, you increase your chance of scooping significantly.

Did I need to raise 5th thinking he might have 4 to a low and a pair of 2s?

[/ QUOTE ]I believe an unimproved big pair is a small equity dog to a small pair and 4 card low on 5th (although here you have other complications like the 3rd guy in the hand).
