In games like this it often doesn't take that much to win. Therefore you must pay off with a lot of hands. Second pair is not just a bluff catcher, since your opponent will sometimes bet third pair for value. You should too, especially if you are last to act and he has already checked. If you are first, however, it is usually better to try to induce a bluff with these mediocre hands. Of course you must mix up your play.
