With a draw as big as that, must've been full wrap + flush draw vs a set, you can flat call here.

The advantages of flat calling are that your equity doesn't change much on a blank turn (60% drops to 57%) so you can still happily call a pot size bet correctly.

Also if the turn isn't a blank, ie the board pairs, you can get away cheaply.

Additionally, by flat calling you encourage more chips to come into the pot behind you, which is what you want with a big draw.

A piece of 7 stud advice i once read which has kept with me and applies to many forms of poker is, play big pairs against a few and draws against an army.
