Can someone please tell me how to handle these river min-raises? It seems everytime a runner-runner draw completes on the river I get min-raised and lose. Should I be folding strong 2 pairs/TPTK to these most of the time even though I'm priced in?

What's the point in paying 4:1 odds to call when players at this level are bluffing about 0% of the time?

Example: (maybe c/c river is a better river line?)

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

Button ($16.60)
SB ($35.80)
Hero ($34.35)
UTG ($15.95)
MP ($22.25)
CO ($31.90)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, T.
UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, Button calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.85) T, 6, 7 (3 players)
Hero bets $0.75, UTG calls $0.75, Button folds.

Turn: ($2.35) 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $2, UTG calls $2.

River: ($6.35) K (2 players)
Hero bets $4, UTG raises to $8, Hero calls $4.

Final Pot: $22.35

Only has to have AK or a missed club draw 1 in 5 times to make this good. I call and make a note.

I'd call the raise, but that's a pretty good spot to check/call on the river, IMO.
