Very, very loose and passive table (VP$IP ~57%, PFR ~0.3%). MP1 is the only aggressive player at the table, but he's also very loose. He's just as bad - if not worse - as the rest of the crowd. He bluffs a lot and he's stuck for a lot of money: he's tilting big time. The rest of the players are all major calling stations. They call down with any two cards from any position regardless of pot size. Knowing this, do you call or raise the flop? A motivation of your answer is much appreciated, but not at all necessary.

I'm raising this because calling in this spot sucks.

It's a big pot and we have an edge. I want to maximize our chances to win it.
