Re: Stud hi call down with two pair
As noted, your pair is small, your kicker sucks, fold Third.
Nobody has to put you on two pair to play correctly against you. A pair bigger than nines isn't ever a terrible dog against you and many hands can have you drawing super thin from Fourth on. Playing two small into a crowd is a disaster.
Two small makes money by getting heads-up and calling down against a lone big pair that feels compelled to put money in the pot. I agree with PCPA that check/raising on Four is a good option if the bet comes from your right, but it would be terrible if the bet comes from your left and is called ahead of you. In that case, you have to fold.
Save the headache and fold on Third.
