Could i justify a call?

Nope, assuming villain only has a pair, you have roughly 1:4.875 odds to win the hand.

The pot odds are roughly 1:1.22

You will lose in the long run

Hi, craigjo,
The tool "Equilab" is great for stuff like this.

This the output comparing the equity of your hand with a range I just made up.
Download Equilab and try out some of your own...

Board: 9♣8♠6♥
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    47.61%  42.95%   4.67% { Ad7d }
MP3    52.39%  47.72%   4.67% { AJs+, A9s-A8s, A6s, KJs, K9s-K8s, K6s, Q8s+, Q6s, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, AJo+, A9o-A7o, KJo, K9o-K7o, Q7o+, JTo, T9o, 98o, 87o, 76o }

As you can see, you are slightly behind, and have only 8 outs -- not all of which may even be any good.

Interestingly, see what happens if you change two of those flop cards to diamonds:

Board: 9♣8♦6♦
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    65.97%  62.96%   3.01% { Ad7d }
MP3    34.03%  31.02%   3.01% { AJs+, A9s-A8s, A6s, KJs, K9s-K8s, K6s, Q8s+, Q6s, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, AJo+, A9o-A7o, KJo, K9o-K7o, Q7o+, JTo, T9o, 98o, 87o, 76o }

Cheers,

snap calling here, with all this dead monies folding is out of question. If you decide to bet flop why in hell fold after raise? Don't bet it if you dont want to gamble.
lol at guys who says fold.

btw buy in full

Roughly? lool!

OP, your fold is correct. If you had info on the villain that he was a maniac who would do this with random over like KJ, or just a 6, maybe you can call. Fold is cool though.

More importantly, why were you playing 60bb? Are you playing a small or medium stack strategy, or do you buy in for 100bb and not top up?

If you buy in for 100bb, keep topping up.

lol

I would say he is at the top of his range with a 7T I think your drawing to a split pot most of the time you should fold this
