I would be grateful for your views

Usually ust flat the raise on the river as you're only getting called by AJ or a completel imbecile. This villain's stats would suggest he is pretty close to imbecilic so you played it fine.

River is an easy bet/call. You could consider betting the turn too, since your draw is really bad, and the K gives you some fold equity.

What's with the min raise preflop? You're just inviting a 4 way pot seeing these guys' VPIP. It's nice if you happen to flop a monster draw, but in spots where you flop mid pair like this, you can find yourself in big trouble.

Besides, if I was in BTN I'd either fold or 3bet ya if you min raise.

BTN is not folding to a bet on the turn so checking is fine.

Without knowing more I would just call the river raise since chances are good that it's a split pot and you could lose to AJ. But if you know him to be aggro enough to raise with 2 pairs or a set in that situation, raising is ok too.

Im not sure about betting the turn, I doubt we ever get enough folds here, especially against a 45/1.

But yeah river is a bet/call.

Bet a little bit less on the river to ensure that you get calls from top pair/two pair hands. Don't create an enormous pot on the river here because you are likely only getting action from chop hands and the nut straight.
