It's alomst impossible to read this hand since you don't have position on him, but his raise on the leans me towards a flopped straight, it's hard to tell.
He's offering 3 to 1 odds on the river to call, i think Q7 is likely so go ahead.

I think he has two pair.. kings jacks maybe.

I reckon he has a straight - he doesn't want to scare you off on the flop, but when you bet a decent amount on the turn he figures he can get more out of you with a raise. Is his river bet an all-in? I'd have gone all in with an ace-high straight. If not, then that's the only real doubt.

I'd be worried about JJ, AT, T9, KJ and KQ. But he would probably play AK and QJ similarly. The real problem is that turn raise: would he raise that with AK or QJ? It's a $14 call into a $27 pot which is giving you 2:1 so you probably need to call there. The river is a call too for the same reason. If I had a read on him as a tight/passive player I could fold that turn.

He had AT I was just wondering if you guys would have played it any differently, besides the raise preflop probably. I thought he might be on QJ but couldn't be sure. Had the feeling I was beat, but he bet too small to get me out with 2 pair.
