Ummmm, you're not going to fold a pocket pair with no raises in front of you. And if he raised to 1500 pre-flop, it's still not and a great call if the guy goes all-in for 5,200 over the top (b/c you still know you're either dominated or in an unnecessary race) and you're only getting about 2 to 1 on your money (the 3700 left to call).
And chris, I agree there's absolutely nothing to gain from the call there. I would like to think I'm good enough to fold that hand and realize it's just a coin flip, and that's not something worth risking nearly 1/5th of your chips or so IMHO. I would have called the 500 and hopefully would be disciplined enough to fold it and not ruin a thriving chip stack.
