Re: This seems rediculus to me
1st, this isn't a 6 handed game.
2nd, the type of game/opponent this is written for, the players who raise here usually have you beat. Badly. You're getting about 6-1 on an 8-1 shot plus you need an overlay should you hit your hand and it not be good. So you need a bit more than 8-1. So you don't have the odds to call.
Btw...in the time when that hand was written, 10-20 wasn't what it is now and waiting for the turn to raise was usually a big hand, not a semi bluffed draw. You still don't see the bluffed draw on the turn that much that it's considered 'typical'.
Against a trickier player, then it can lean more towards a call.

I think possible hand are 77 66 55 44 maybe a medium over pair or two overcards on the flop with spades maybe or A4 A5 A6 and A7

Against these hands, you're only ahead of 66, overcards, or A5 or A6. A typical player won't wait to the turn to raise with any of those. Some of those they'd raise the flop, not the turn.
Player dependent.
