If for some reason I misread my hand and the board and found myself in this river spot, I would fold.
Snap decisions are much more commonly tells of weakness, not strength. You can pretty often use this timing tell to discount the upper parts of villain's ranges. So on the river we have a villain who we know is capable of bluffs, doesn't rep a whole lot and has indicated weakness on a board with lots of whiffed draws. For such a great price a call seems correct.
Normally a snap call is a hand that is a clear call in villain's mind. A big hand would at least think about how best to maximize value. It can also be a hand that wants to project strength to get a cheaper showdown. This is obviously villain dependent, but IME it's one of he more reliable tells.
