Assume that I start with a small pocket pair, say 33 to 55. In this game (full table 5-card stud), the low card opens, and the player directly on my right opens with a 2.

How should I play my 33? How does the ante-structure dictate my choice of play here? (I am assuming in a game with no ante, the correct play is fold).

Also, how I should I play them in a no-limit structured 5-card game?

depends on how tight the table is. i have played on paradise some where you will only get 1 caller from an EP raise, and other times you will get 6.
