Re: Big pot, should I call with two pair?
[ QUOTE ]
But the pot is already so big, so how do I judge when do have to call it down?

Usually, the rule of thumb is don't fold decent hands in big pots for one bet. When it's two bets to you, you should at least think about what they could possibly be betting and raising with and if you can beat it.
In this case, with 4 to a straight being there on the river, it really looks like people either have the straight, or are making dumb bluffs that won't work. The only way you win this hand is if MP and Button are making those dumb bluffs, or if they each made a worse two pair on the river and got excited. I think it's a pretty good indication that one of them has a straight when it's two back to you, especially with how passive MP has been in the hand (cold called 2 preflop and 3 on the flop). He is going to have a straight a lot of the time.
