Default Raise or call the river?

Hey! This hand came up a couple of minutes ago. I just sat down, so I don't have any read on the players.

I get dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the button. Three callers to me and I raise. BB and the rest call. Flop comes

K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG+1 bets out, the players between us fold and I raise. Only UTG+1 calls. The turn is

2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet, he calls. The river comes

J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet, he check-raises, I...

What is my move here? Should I reraise or just call him down? Any help appreciated!

Most players would checkraise a turned flush. Looks more like a rivered two pair, KJ or worse. I 3 bet and vomit/call if he caps.

I thought for a really long time on this one. My thinking went like yours; he would have gone for the turn check-raise. However, I also thought that he must fear the spades as much as I do and it would be unlikely for him to check-raise the river without a very strong hand. Finally, I chickened out and just called. He shows A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and drags the pot.

I'm still not sure what to do next time, though... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Thanks for your response!
