<font color="red">Hero bets $8</font>, <font color="red">MP raises to $16</font>, Hero folds. Am i playing too passively by having this as my standard line?

From an unknown, I would assume the min-raise indicates strength. Furthermore, you're not really in a good spot to do anything about it if he's FOS. Easy fold.

How about on this hand, villain runs at 46/28; he has a flop aggression of 8

Same hand basically. You are not in a good spot to use his aggression against him. Position is key.

Thats what I thought but I can't just call, I need to raise no?

[Unknown Soldier]
