I recently played this hand.
I'm wondering if I should call the flop bet? I'm getting 21.5% odds. Using rule of 2 & 4 we have ~10% equity, maybe a bit more since I would assume SB's range is very high card oriented.
So 7 & 8 are good cards for us. If 8 hits, it would complete J8s, 69s and T8s. I think only the fish could have those, along with many other hands too.
We would be almost drawing dead to 33 or TT.
So should we be calling?

SB betting in to 2 people is often going to be a range that beats second pair decent kicker. You're not getting the odds to outdraw, fold.

Even if you had the backdoor flush draw, I think it's a fold. There's a decent chance you're drawing almost dead vs top set, and it seems unlikely that you'll realize your equity via free cards.
