    Call IMO, he could easily have AK/AQ/AJ/KQ/JJ or some combo draws and even if he flopped a better set you still have up to 7 outs.

    I assume that was a brainfart and he meant v's a made flush or straight.

    7 outs on the turn, 10 on the river (unless of course its a royal in which case we're flat outta luck).

    Oops. Yes I meant 7 outs against made flush/straight, I'd be quite surprised to see opp with AA/KK here.
