Default Is this hand trying to tell me something

I had been on a mini hot streak, hitting straights, flushes, boats, and sets. I was almost convinced that I could be really good if I would just study and practice more. Of course I am cold as ice right now. Here is a hand that has me thinking long and hard about reading the paper and seeing a movie rather than tearing up the internet poker rooms. : )

I just need to know if this hand was played correctly. My plan for the hand was to play it agressively and deal with a Q,K or A on the board if it came up. As it turned out a pushie could not control himself and went all in. I went along with him. Did I do right? I have had lots of hands like this and I am having trouble deciding if my play is correct or not.

You don't call raises with KQo. Many people wouldn't even limp with it.

I hate this play, you got all in with the nuts with several callers. That is really, really bad. Quit poker.

This hand is trying to tell you, that there's already a thread for bad beats in this forum.

Also KQ doesn't play well when facing preflop raiser. You should remember that cold calling raises preflop is almost always bad thing to do.
