What's is the big blind's range here, and how do we react to his turn lead?
You can't expect someone to answer this with that meager description of that player. What you're saying is that BB is a random player.
That said, this type of action is often a "blocking bet" trying to set the price of the street. He thought if he checked the betting might be big and he'd then be required to fold. So the answer is likely bet pot and watch him fold.
It seems as if he had the nuts he'd bet more than half pot. He wouldn't block the street at that price because he'd be shooting himself in the foot.

This is actually not a good play, IMO. It's obvious why we do it; position and not enough card strength to raise but too much to fold. However, I believe it is correct to raise; pot would be a $45 raise.
Pretty sure it's incorrect to raise in a limit game, but we need some PF semi-bluffs and this is an excellent spot. Any remaining players will almost always check it to you on the flop.
AP, raise the flop. There's TONS of worse hands that will want to continue. Don't MUBS, value bet. Your position is precarious but have confidence that you can play the runout well. Make it $50 or a bit more and get a read.
