Default Mechanics of Stud--fourth street

Let's say I'm in a pot on fourth street and second to act in a $2-$4 stud game. The first to play has an open pair and he bets $4. If I'm strong enough to raise, what am I allowed to raise it to, $6 or $8?

If he makes the double bet of $4, then you in turn must make a double size raise of $4 if you wish to raise. If he bet the single bet of $2 then you would have the option to raise to $6 or $8.

Just to add a little more. Lets say the open pair bets 2..Then your options are to either raise it to 4 or 6, which ever you prefer.

Mike wouldn't it actaully be 4 or 6. Not 6 and 8 if they guy bet 2? The choices are a raise of 2 or 4.
