Is this TAG play or just spewing?

I've been suffering some big losses lately, so not sure if this is good agression or just LAG behavior.

I'd only seen two orbits at this table, but UTG had limped in on about 1/2 of the hands.

I'd probably fold KTs pf, but if it's a tight table I think this is fine. UTG's not showing any strength, so why not take a shot at it when the board pairs? If he calls the turn do you check the river through or take another stab at it?

I probably raise preflop.

agreed. at a tight-passive table you want to raise - only mr limper is in so far, and the raise "defines" your "hand" when the A flops, allowing them to release sooner.

With this few players, you don't worry so much about chasers on this board.

good play, i reckons.

This is neither tight nor aggressive. Probably fold preflop, but if you're going to play it, play it for a raise, methinks. Raising=outs.

excuse my brashness, as I am a lowly newbie...

fold this? pourquoi? in mid to late position at a loose passive table, second in, shouldnt you raise this most of the time?. I would rarely fold this hand at this limit. if we're talking about an EP raise, then yes fold and pick a better spot, or in the case of all limpers I would maybe just call, but in this situation I would think this hand deserved a raise

[Blindfolk]

I would not fold this, but I would not call it. Raise to eliminate some players and if you don't hit the flop, your betting will probably work better.

In my experience at these low-limits, pushing people out of the pot post-flop is easier if you raised pre-flop.
