just wondering if this is even worth the call, I know I probably have the best hand right now but with the amount of outs my opponent has even if my hand is best right now it will probably be outdrawn. plus I have the disadvantage of bad position. is this just a fold ?

Folding is fine. You have about 60% eq versus his range, but as you said, bad position and hating most turns. Calling ok too.

I just fold. There is really only one card in the deck you really like.

Calling here with the intention to c/f turn is bad imo , either take an aggresive approach or just fold. Under certain circumstances , you could potentially call the flop and check-shove the turn if the turn isnt a spade , you may force the opponent to do a mistake and take a flip with a draw.
