Default straight facing river raise

Villain is 48/5/3 but only over 60 hands. Obviously he has something good on the river. I don't think he ever bluffs here. His river min-raise gives us 5:1 in a pretty big pot. What do you do here? Call or fold?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop

Button ($10)
SB ($14.15)
Hero (BB) ($10)
UTG ($2.09)
MP ($19.74)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9, 8
3 folds, SB calls $0.05, Hero bets $0.30, SB calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.60) 10, Q, 4 (2 players)
SB bets $0.20, Hero raises to $0.80, SB calls $0.60

Turn: ($2.20) J (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.60, SB calls $1.60

River: ($5.40) 4 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3, SB raises to $6, Hero ?

I'd definitely call here getting almost 5 to 1. Villain could be doing this with a set, or two pair. You only have to be right about 17% of the time here, and you do have a decently strong hand.

the river min c/r is usually a nut type hand. This looks like a back doored flush most of the time as he shouldn't be slowplaying a flopped set but with the odds we are getting I probably call and ship it to him and make a note of what he played here.

Snap call when he raises so small. Bad players like him can easily do this with trips or even two pair, so getting such good odds it's a clear call.

this is a call, but based on my brothers experiences at 10NL (he's just starting) a min raise on the end normally = the nuts or close to it
