Passive play works great in solitaire, not here.

This would have played out a helluva lot different had you raised pre-flop and either checkraised the flop or bet out on the flop.

I disagree with any blanket statements about passive play. There are times when playing a hand aggressively (even a fairly strong hand) is the wrong play. The question is: what's the best way to make the most when I'm ahead, and lose the least when I'm behind?
