A guy bets out $2 when he hits ace on board-I don't think he has it. The Pot is $15.
he gets four callers (none who have four flushes or threatening boards)
What should I do? Raise $2 and increase the pot for the next street, wait till next street and raise/bet and continue doing that the whole hand? Just call and hope to hit two pair?

Big pairs play best against fewer opponents, so your raise will accomplish this goal AND increase the size of the pot that you are a favorite to win.
Smooth calling will only encourage 1 or 2 or all 3 of your remaining opponents to peel off another card on the cheap...next thing you know they'll all have 4-to-flushes/straight or even 2 pair and then your kings will be at risk.
Easy, eyes closed, raise!
