Seems like you're certainly beat, but priced in there. Can't really fold.

First off, he doesn't look beat to me. He has completely disguised the strength of his hand, and someone is making a very small bet at the river. If you are looking for a fold here getting 5-1 you need to examine your conceptions of how often this will be the best hand.

He was check-raised by the BB after someone had already called his raise. It was also a minraise. That screams monster to me. And I never told him to fold. I said I think he's beat, but you're calling this anyway.

Also, assuming this is .25/.50, smallish bets don't necessarily mean weakness. People at these limits have no idea how to protect their hands. They literally have no concept of proper betting technique.
