No, I would probably call and lose just like I think you did. Over my poker career, I would estimate that when I get min raised on the river, I lose 9 out of 10 times. So 5:1 doesnt cover it. Thats why they min raise you, because they know you cant fold.

Hence, check / call being better. Not too mention it gives him a chance to bluff. There are not too many hands that you beat that will call a value bet there.

But hey, Im in the middle of the worst losing streak of my career so my advice is probably worth what you paid for it.
