I cant see this call happening unless another person calls to see the flop. Because 89 suited vs a higher pocket pair has roughly 23% chance of beating it which happens to be one of the best hands to actually beat out a higher pocket pair. And since 3 people have called to see the flop your putting in 200 to try to win 600, so your looking at getting 3/1 to your money but so a third is 33.3333% which isnt quite what your hand can take. But if another person called your now putting in 200 to win 800, which becomes a 4/1 on your money and gives you a 25% chance to win the pot. And your hand at best has 23% chance to win the hand your getting the right odds to see that flop. So I could only see a call happening for this flop if another person jumps on it. If you make calls like this with only 3 people in there eventually you'll wind up losing a lot more than your winning.
