Call. Your effective odds are enormous.

This is one of those pre-flop situations where it really helps to be good at poker. I mean that seriously... the seeming difficulty of this situation is that you have a hand that may be dominated and don't want to pay off in that situation. But, with good post-flop skills, you should be able to limit your reverse implied odds here and find this hand to be +EV.

This was my thinking as well, and as I said, I made the call. I spoke to another 2+2er about this and he went from raise to fold to call in about 60 seconds. (I think he too is firmly behind call now.)

As it happens, the flop was 678 and the river a 9, so the post-flop play was not hugely difficult (the only real question being, "do you raise the flop for the free card?").

I call, but I don't like posting in the hijack, when the CO might also post.

Can you elaborate? This is very counter-intuitive. If I must post with a blind hand, the more players that are also posting blind, the better, as far as I can tell.
