$1 NL HE MTT: Hand of the day (2)

8 handed vanilla MTT. 40bb deep, well into the tournament, but still someway off the money.

Folds to us in SB with BB calls

Flop is

What's your play and why?

Since you say "BB called", I will assume, that we raised, and that we used a standard sizing like 3BB, which makes the pot around 7BB including the ante. In that case I am willing to play for stacks blind versus blind with a decent top pair. On the flop I will C-bet for value, and I will use small sizing like 25-40% pot, since this is a very static board. There is a straightdraw but no flushdraw, and only an ace will change top pair. So I want him to float with lots of hands, that have low equity like second or third pair, gutshots or even A high.

BB calls did we raise? What size?

There are 2 schools of thought regarding BVB- 1 R or flat. 2 flat range preflop.
Your flop action is very dependent on which of the two you normally use and have used vs the BB.
Then it is dependent on the BB-are they active or passive. Will they bet with a decent frequency after a check?
If they check back 55 and fold most often to any bet then we lead bet larger targeting the narrow range of hands, they are inelastic with.
