Am I missing something?

It sounds like you're missing that Hero is in the big blind, hence is getting 9:1 pot odds to put in one more bet.
I always have trouble with these decisions, because some hands are so bad that you shouldn't play them for one more bet getting 9:1. 96s is a suited two-gapper, hence pretty close to "suited junk". (It can make two-card straights with T87 or 875, hence it's slightly better than two uncoordinated suited cards.) I'm a little surprised it's good enough to play there, but I'm confident it's only because of the 9:1 pot odds.
You'll either flop a decent draw or you won't, and unless you flop top pair/lousy kicker it's a hand you're unlikely to mess up postflop.
Just curious, where is this odds calculator that accomodates random hands?
