Tricky. At first I wanted to fold, but when thinking about it I think you are ahead more than 1/3 of the time here and thus would call.

what could he have???

KQ - he slowplays that for sure
Kx - I think he slowplays that as well
Qx - most likely I think
small pair - also likely
flush draw - possible

I call thinking your two pair is best.

If you're the hero and you have any of these hands, I don't think you're putting in such a big raise preflop.
