I might not push, but I'd at least raise, or do more than just call.

Looks to me like SB has JJ. He raised from the get-go which showed me he had a decent hand. No overcards on the flop so he bet T60 again. Flop of 89T looking real good to him too. Turn card of 7 and he's smiling big inside now that his medium pair just turned into a straight so he bets big. A push or a big raise by you on the flop may have got him to fold but hard to tell unless you have a read on him.

Push on the flop. A made hand that beats yours is very unlikely, but you're almost certain to be up against at least one pretty good draw. Push and give the draws the wrong odds to call, so that if they do stay in, you're making money from the call. As it is, by just calling on the flop you're letting their presence cost you money.

Hopefully, a decent made hand (AT, two pair, or an overpair) will put you on a draw and call.

Unless someone flopped the straight, you probably have the best hand so you have to make the draws pay.
Your call on the flop was wrong.
SB raised PF so his 60 bet into a 240 pot could just be a token bet or checking to see where he is.
You should raise to at least 300. With your stack at 700 at this point, pushing is up to you.

All in on the flop and hope that you get a call. Of course you will lose sometimes, but I´m sure not nearly as often as every 3rd time. If you win the pot right there it can´t be too bad neither.
