Most of the time an overbet = not strong... so i called here cause he could also be on Kx, 2pair. Most of the time i see me ahead here.

Why did you not bet the turn here? With the way hand is played I don't see how you can fold as your turn check indicates to him weakness like he just caught you bluffing so he is betting the river with a scarey overbet to take down the pot. I read this as him not wanting to show his hand down.

why make this pot big with only a Flushdraw on a paired board?

I like the turn check...you tried your semibluff on the flop and it paid for your free look at the river. You may have sidestepped a turn C/r too.

I assumed your question about calling was whether to call or raise (folding would be terrible). I guess I just call. Since he was in a blind he may well have a lower flush but the large river bet could be stronger than you or a bluff and betting doesn't benefit in eitehr of those cases. 5x's, K8, and strong K's will pay you off but there's enough chips behind here that I don't want to get my stack in.

This is fine. No need to bet turn. No need to raise river, either.
