Calling is standard. We don’t really have a draw outside 2p draw and gutter but we have a relevant blocker to the FD and strong top pair. Folding would be an exploit. The gutter makes this a slam dunk call.
Depends on Villain but I’d imagine we call a lot with top 2 and a gutter while also blocking the nut straight with the T and the FD being live for villain which allows for possible bluffs. Unblocking the NFD is good for us too as that should comprise a lot of his bluff range.
I'm tempted to jam the flop - sets and 2p usually trap at this stack size. Betting and calling it off with a decent draw is a pretty common tactic
