It took me a couple of minutes to make this call. He sounded so strong when he pushed(he did it verbally without hesitation)...and my first impression of this river reraise was that my hand wasn't good. A bet on the flop by this guy would have probably folded me and the other player who was excruciatingly tight, so Villain checking on a 753 flop where only a hand like 44 or 66 is going to hurt you isn't too bad IMO. I really didn't think he was capable of bluffing a player with my image who raises on the river, so I was sure he had hit the board pretty well. And I believed this guy was smart enough to not 3-bet the river with only a straight on a paired board.
I guess the thing is the first thing my instincts told me was that I was behind...only after a fair amount of convincing I made a crying call here...and it was very hard for me to put the money into the pot. I am happy to say that most of the answers given to my OP are things that went through my head at one level or another.
Saw this guy later fold

on a 7s7x4sAx9s river to a push of $40 by a female who was telegraphing that she wanted a call pretty much...the woman showed 74 after he folded...the fold was impressive to me.Thanks for the replies
