Default Straight w/board pair

2nd hour of $10R - no real reads since we've just started the non-rebuy period.

What do you do on the river?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed)

MP2 (t4563)
MP3 (t6490)
Hero (t7417)
Button (t4505)
SB (t5870)
BB (t10835)
UTG (t5135)
UTG+1 (t10765)
MP1 (t6128)

Preflop: Hero is CO with [Qh], [Kd].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t150, 2 folds, MP3 calls t150, Hero calls t150, 2 folds, BB checks.

Flop: (t675) [9c], [Jh], [6h] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets t300, BB folds, UTG+1 calls t300, MP3 folds.

Turn: (t1275) [Tc] (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets t750, UTG+1 calls t750.

River: (t2775) [Js] (2 players)
UTG+1 bets t1650, Hero??

I call

For me, this is the 2nd & 3rd level thought process part of the game. What does your opponent think you have?? Because you bet the flop, I think its unlikely that your opponent would put you on a gutshot straight draw. I also, think that it is very unlikely your opponent flopped a set or two pair, the money would most likely go in on the turn instead of the river.

I think its much more likely your opponent has a hand like K-J, or Q-J, possibly A-J if they are really tight and didn't come in for a raise. When the board pairs a jack on the river, they think they have the best hand and bet out hoping to get called by a worse jack.

I can't see folding in this spot, I think you will have the best hand a high % of the time.

I definitely can never find a fold here either. Probably looking at whether I should be raising or calling...

*Also, it wouldn't let me keep it in there - but the converter is from FlopTurnRiver.com - gotta pay credit where its due... *

Yeah, calling for sure... if we lose to a FH so be it...
I wouldn't re-raise all-in because you still have around 4k left and I'm thinking you would only be called if he had you beat...
