Him,
I took the liberty of using a web-based hand-converter to render the hand a bit easier to read:
The link is below

This converter is going to be a cash cow...
HEM/Poker Stars NL Hold'em $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players

Button: $3.91 (Hero)
SB: $3.24
BB: $2.45
UTG: $7.13
UTG+1: $2.00
CO: $3.70

Preflop: ($0.03) Hero is Button with T♠ 8♥ (6 players)
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.04, SB folds, BB calls $0.02

Flop: ($0.09) 6♥ 8♠ A♣ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.06, BB calls $0.06

Turn: ($0.21) T♦ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.15, BB raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.15

River: ($0.81) 5♦ (2 players)
BB bets $0.78, Hero folds

BB won $0.78
(Rake: $0.78)

As to the hand:
I see you are of the school of thought that minraises from the button. The purpose of this is to allow you to call more 3Bets from the blinds. The downside is that the BB now has pot odds to call with just about anything.

I don't know how sophisticated this guy is, but the chance of Ax is pretty good.
If that x is a 6, 8 or T you're beat.

I see you HM2 -- do you have any stats on the BB?
If he is generally passive post-flop, I'm def out of here.
If he's aggro, I'll pay him off -- consider it an investment in the future when you have a hand.

Just out of curiosity, since you appear to have HM2, why not use their tool to copy a hand to the clipboard in PokerStrategy.com format?

If you don't know how, let me know, and I'll see if I can find the destructions some where.

Best of luck,
VS

I imagine from the min raise on the turn this player is passive as you do not normally see an aggro player min raising. Against a river pot bet I would tend to fold. I don't see anything wrong with checking back flop too though.

You have 2P and it is not a deadly sin to call in this situation. If you decide to call you should definitely make a note on villain.

Im with allen here. Tbh vs fish on theese stakes a minR turn is pretty strong
Note this is just my opinion

Question you have to ask yourself is:
1. Is villain bluffing here? I'd say very rarely.
2. Are there any hands in villains value range that uses this line that you beat? Yes you have 2pair but not a very good one - Is he going for a cr OTT with AJ,AQ? no? then i think the fold is fine OTR.
