if that was a blocking bet on the river then FOLD, if it wasn't then check next time. Next time you block the river don't make it so small.

when was the last time you called a min-raise on the river without the nuts and won the hand?

I think I can count on the fingers of one hand how often I call river minraises and win hands - I fold here and don't think twice about it - screw the pot odds.

Why no preflop raise?

Why are you giving button almost perfect odds to draw on the turn?

Whats the purpose of the river lead?

if it's a block then it served it's purpose - easy fold - but you should block for ~$8 here at least...

if you think you're ahead and it was a value bet (albeit a mighty thin one) - easy call - but c/c is much better.

if you don't have a clue whether you're ahead or behind at this point then give up and play tiddlywinks instead.

If tiddlywinks doesn't appeal try and learn to read the opponent better - that river bet looks like a perfect example of one of Harringtons "Dark Tunnel" bets - Betting for the sake of betting in such small amounts that it doesn't accomplish anything of note other than spew money...
