Should I be paying this off?

The villian has been passive, and played over %50 of his hands. Should I be calling his c/r?

sorry for the double post.

Yes, if only because you don't want to make a habit of folding to river raises when you have a decent hand.

Yes. Nice hand.

anything wrong with check/calling that river?

Just noticed i wrote check-raise when it's not. Oops.

Something else to consider: His raise was instantaneous, making it evident that he had clicked the handy "Raise Any" button. Does this change anything?

I'd say so, up to the river, villian hass apparently been playing this hand much like every other hand he has been playing

No. Sometimes people do that when they have a hand, and sometimes people do it so it looks like they have a hand.

Yeah. This villain will rarely have a king, occasionally have a 9, and will frequently either call one with crap or check behind.

Yes, but you will only what I estimate to be 1 time in 7.

Therefore, your EV will be:

1 x 8.75BB= 8.75 win
6 x 1BB=6 lost

Net 2.75BB

Average EV to Call: 2.75 BB / 7 Hands = 0.4BB/hand

How does that sound?
