First orbit at the table but Villain already showed down trash.

Getting 4.67:1 on the river bet. Should you usually be calling this down given the action and board? The flop bet and turn check seemed to me like a made hand and I don't think he plays draws this way.

Wow, what a joke. Calling is mainly for info and table image -- showing down a good hand is always cool. I'd probably call, but yeah, it's obvious you're beat.
