Default My first posted limit hand (combined with a little whining)

I have been primarily a NL and STT player for the last couple of years with a lot of luck. After finding 2+2 and reading through the forums I decided that it sounded like fun to go back and start playing limit again (with a new found knowledge gained from lurking around here).

I've read SSHE and HEPFAP and feel like I do a decent job of applying the concepts although I'm sure I still have more leaks then fingers to plug them. After a trip to Vegas and about 3 weeks of online play I was up about 800BB.

On the last day of the Vegas trip until now the poker gods have been pooping on my parade. I've given back about 600BB. Looking back over the hands I don't see a whole lot I would have done differently in a most hands. Its just been a case of people constantly hitting the river card they need against me and good hands not holding up. Thats the end of my whining.

I decided it was time to throw myself on the alter and get some feedback from the forum. One of the things I noticed looking back over hands that I get somewhat passive on flops when I get bet into.

Here is a hand that I played on Full Tilt 2/4 when trying to correct this.

reads:
MP2 is a solid player, Button is Loose player who has been chasing

9-handed

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, Button calls, 1 fold, BB checks

Flop: (4.5 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB checks, MP2 bets, Hero raises, Button calls, BB folds, MP2 raises, Hero calls, Button calls

Turn: (6.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
MP2 bets, Hero calls, Button calls

River: (9.75 BB) 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
MP2 bets, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, MP3 caps, Hero calls, Button calls.

Final Pot: 21.75 BB


Is this flop raise correct? ...calling the 3-bet? Feel free to castigate me for the turn play.
