TAG Muppet

I was playing in a $1 online tourney on PS (PokerStars) tonight to blow off some steam from my usual bad beat knockout in live poker (had a made flush, went all in on the flop and got called by the nut flush draw which hit... not too bad a beat i guess)...

I was playing my usual TAG for a while until i got bored and switched to LAG (Loose Aggressive)... so to be fair i was raising a lot of pots, and i was tilting a bit because i got out drawn when i put a solid player all in with an over pair and they had a lower pocket pair and hit a two outer... in this hand i want to mention that chip2310 had not played more than two hands in the past half an hour so i had them down as a solid tight player... so here is the hand in question...

Seat 7: johan bels (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 8: debmarhome (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 9: wallacesoare folded before Flop (didn't bet)

To be fair i did have an M of only 3.5 so i could be pushing with a wide range (tho if someone understands M they will realize my range is narrowed by the UTG call)... my main disappointment is chip2310's call with KQos... i mean i had him down as a good player at the table and he just threw his image away with this call... I mean its not that bad a call really, because I was raising a lot of pots preflop, but with a limper already in? I believe this is an easy fold...

I actually commented when i flopped two pair that the call was disappointing... and then the runner runner was inevitable with my luck... sooo i guess its back to studying the right way to play so i dont get so frusterated with these players...
