Hero (SB): $2.01 (100.5 bb)
BB: $1.53 (76.5 bb)
UTG: $2.08 (104 bb)
MP: $1.01 (50.5 bb)
CO: $2.23 (111.5 bb)
BTN: $0.89 (44.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A♠: J♥:
4 folds, Hero raises to $0.05, BB calls $0.03

standart open raise

Flop: ($0.10) 5♠: 9♠: J♦: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.05, BB calls $0.05

standart c-bet, maybe could bet 8cents inseat of half pot?

Turn: ($0.20) 7♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.14, BB calls $0.14

still standart bet, this time I go for 2/3 pot size for value

River: ($0.48) K♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.08, BB raises to $1.29 and is all-in, Hero folds

bad river card! I try to get to a cheap showdown and tried a small block bet. Maybe too small? Never tried this block bet, is it reasonable?
He shoves the river. Could that be a nice move as he saw I'm trying to get a cheap showdown? Or he hit the king or a set or 2 pair as he hase a very wide range as button caller?

I think the fold is fine.

Results:

Spoiler

$0.64 pot ($0.02 rake)
Final Board: 5♠: 9♠: J♦: 7♣: K♥:
Hero mucked A♠: J♥: and lost (-$0.32 net)
BB mucked and won $0.62 ($0.30 net)

Strange hand I think.

This would be my play.

Bet bigger on flop (it's really draw heavy especially SB BB wise). Then also 2/3rd pot on turn. Let him pay to draw.
Now you can check the river and catch a bluff or bet like half pot for value or as a block bet but when he shoves I don't think you can call

I would bet bigger on the flop, would bet the turn about 2/3 and x/fold the river, as we block a huge part of his flush draws with the ace of spades and still has QT / KJ / K♠ x:spade: in his range.
