I've tried (the last week or so) to play more aggressively, raise PF, bet when there is a decent made pair (such as the hand below). Maybe I played this one too aggressive:

Final Pot: 9.50 BB
At the showdown, I was outkicked. Was I too aggressive here?
Another question I have is I play tight most of the time, folding about 70%, and when I enter PF for a raise, I usually end up 2 or 3 handed. Am I playing too tight, and when I show stregnth (AA/KK/QQ/AK/ etc...) people notice that right away and fold out. Would it be better to limp in these situations, then maybe raise the flop when/if I hit to build the pot?
