Villain in this hand is a 34/7/2
Here's my reasoning on the call, and I feel it's important.
On the flop: Villain isn't checking a K on a board this draw heavy. He might check top two pair, but probably not. Therefore, we can remove a K from his likely holdings.
On the turn: Villain could be calling with a number of hands here, a Jack, a naked A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], some sort of medium pocket pair or possible 55 or 66, or something like 78s.
On the river: Villain probably isn't going to bluff a hand that has show down value. We can therefore remove a hand like AJ or 88 from Villain's possible holdings. We have therefore removed any K, and J, or any medium pocket pair. He could have two pair or a set, but he could be bluffing with a draw that he picked up on the turn. After thinking this through, I decided to call. Is this reasonable?
