My oponents are quite passive and i can make assumption i will see another card for 1 SB most of times. Also i make assumption my backdoors are for nuts.

The question is do we have here a call due to big pot or we should fold?

We have quite diffrent looks on this spot in polish section and I don't want to be rude, but Dawnfall, can you give your opinion here?

Hi!

Preflop this seems as CAP/fold spot as default. You dont really call here with strong hands so no reason to do it with this one.

Here they are bad players so exploitable play comes into consideration but is it really better?! Since they are bad it will likely get a 4way hand so calling should still be +EV but imo capping is still better.
You are putting just 1SB more into the pot to generate a lot of postflop FE. There is also higher chance to create some dead money from UTG or even BTN sometimes. Even if it gets 4way 67s has strong equity anyway and its not like you are puting money in badly. If they were thinking players I would certainly cap here and also here I preffer it over calling.

As played flop seems like an awesome spot to bluff raise. You have the perfect air hand to bluff and also decent amount of FE since if you make BU to fold you are left with loose SB who has Jx,Kx hands that he will fold on turn...besides you often have clean outs so its far from you being dead.

Call should still be better than folding 1:11 with strong backdoors and possible 6 outer is far more than enough and when you mention them being passive it seems even easier.
