Give him a more realistic range here please. This is not at all an easy call.
Imo 2 pair is definitely in CO's range. Given what CO knows about OP, CO has to figure TT, 99,77,66 are ahead and he could conceivably limp/call pre with all those hands. From his point of view, even if OP has something like JJ OP can't call a turn raise and CO may not want to risk a free card killing him in a big pot. Yeah, the raise is big, but OP has made the pot so big on the turn what other raise size does he have? I'm not claiming this is the optimal way for CO to play these hands, but I do think there's a greater than trivial chance this scenario could play out.
As for semi-bluffs, yes, the flop is dry. So dry that I expect CO to float it a lot, and the turn makes this board wet.
These scenarios, combined with naked bluffs, and the more likely J8, T8, 98, 87, 86 are all imo conceivable holdings. Also keep in mind that OP is getting laid a price
and his hand has outs, so even if I'm overestimating CO's range and he's only getting it in with 99+ OP is correct to call. Somebody can pokerstove this if they don't trust my intuition.
Just my opinion...
