From the smooth call and minimum raise on the turn, it was obvious that he also had a King ( taking into consideration that you did not know his style of play - err on the side of caution). I would have tried to call him on the turn and try to reach a showdown as cheap as possible. In this scenario, if he bets big after your check on the river, then it is a difficult hand to lay down. I would have probably called. But that's probably what separates the Amateurs from the Pros !?
