You're first to act. Can you just muck your hand?

A better course of action would be to hold on to your hand, wait for someone else to bet, and then when the action gets back around to you ...

Stare at the bettor for about 3 minutes. Try to look into his soul.

ask him if he can beat second pair

Then look at your cards. Hem and Haw a little bit. Then stare at him again.

ask the dealer for a chip count

Pick up your cards as if to fold them, pull back and look at your cards again, then look at your chips. Put your cards down. Stare at the bettor. Then in very, very slow motion... muck your hand.

on the real. different places have different policies. in an unraised pot (or a small pot) i feel it is ok since there isn't a lot at stake though some ppl say that it is unfair to the small blind since he checked with x num of players in the hand while someone else who might check now can bet knowing there is one less involved. for bigger pots or raised pots this is a big no no.
