This is my first hand posting, so be gentle. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm pretty sure I played this one too passive, but out of position, I didn't know how strong the hand would play. I'm working on adding the aggressive to my tight, but sometimes I end up playing "not to lose" instead of "maximize the win".

MP3 sat down and started playing aggressive. I had no read on MP1.

Flop: (6 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>

Final Pot: 12 BB

My thought is that I failed to re-raise the flop, but I wonder if that would have driven out MP1, anyway.

Thoughts?

Thanks
