NL50 - QQ river call

[yegon]

I thought about reraising the flop but his raise looked uncharacteristic. I was at the table for about 20 hands and he was quite loose (40-ish VPIP) but passive and mainly called down. So I decided to just call. When the king hit I wanted him to be betting and me calling because he would not call with a big part of his range. I was really not sure about the river call though. Isn't it too big for me to call profitably?
