We bid your max. If it is enough to meet the reserve it will, and as long as nobody else bids higher you'll win the item.

Sometimes in cases like this one I'll email the seller and tell them my max bid was $51.68 and see if they'll sell it to me. It's possible their reserve was $52 and you just missed winning. Usually also I email the seller when I bid on reserve items to ask them what the reserve is. I'd say about 60-70% of the time they tell me.
