Enough equity to play?

No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BTNs1N911460  BBHero1540  Effective Stacks: 73bb Blinds 10/20 Pre-Flop (30, 2 players) Hero is BB s1N91 raises to 60, Hero calls 40   Flop (120, 2 players) Hero checks, s1N91 bets 90, Hero folds   Final Pot: 210 s1N91 wins 210 ( won +60 ) Hero lost -60A few hands in and no reads would you be calling, raising or folding here? and whats your reason behind doing so?

Flat calling is the best

Flat calling is the best option imo.You have good equity with 2 overs + gutshot and the stack size is deep. you can defenetly peal one card and revaluate on the turn. If stack sizes were shorter and 40% equity vs TP you could think about c/r and then barrel off on good turn and river cards, for example this could be a standard play in a super turbo 25bb deep or shorter.Cheers

I would call, esp. given we

I would call, esp. given we are drawing to the nuts and quite deep. pocaja said it well.

  Another interesting line to consider is donking out on the flop.  In my experience people view it as very strong on this type of flop. and you will get folds from some better hands.  We can barrel on alot of turn and river cards for val or as a bluff.  Vs certain players who raise donk bets with a wide range, we could bet/3bet gii on this flop as we have 40% vs top pair.

check raise is a reasonable option

If he flats we can barrel on some turn and rivers for val or as a bluff.  Lots of options with this hand.  The optimal line will depend on how he responds with his ranges.
