Would you have played this differently and why?

It's hard to think there wouldn't be a queen or higher pp, but the pot was so large, I figured I had to be aggressive. Ended up working out this time.

With MP only having 1BB left after his flop bet I think raising to isolate him and get him all in is this way to go. Even passive players tend to start spew when they're almost out of cash. Nice hand!
