Re: I always pay off
Good situation to discuss. I believe we're usually beat here, but that it's really hard to fold.
One thing I don't think should be discounted is the possibility that the villain has hit some relatively mediocre 2 pair on the flop or turn, especially considering he's calling from bb. In that case, you have a fair amount of outs to hit a better 2 pair.
And I also think that there's something to be said for metagame considerations. If this is an unknown opponent, I don't mind calling down once to make sure he's not pulling this routine with less than top pair; that info is pretty valuable.
