"Second hand!" - Sushi Cowboy

After the debacle that was the first hand I have settled down and strengthened my resolve. Seconds later I pick up ThJdKh5c after I sit in on the BB on my other table. Fold, limp, and two folds behind me. Then from out of nowhere the button bets pot, nine big ones. SB folds and I'm in a quandary. I have three broadway cards single suited. The offsuit five bugs me since it doesn't really belong. I don't have the nut flush draw either, just king high. As the saying goes, find a reason to fold your hand instead of a reason to play it so I decide to let it go. Maybe too tight a fold but I think I can find a better spot than being likely heads up out of position with no idea where I stand and a limited amount of flops that I can be happy with. Limper behind me folds as well and I surmise that I have just been stolen from by a button raise but am really helpless to do anything about it since I will likely face another pot sized bet if I check or perhaps even a pot sized raise if I lead out. Regardless of how the flop comes out who's to say that he didn't actually hit it or otherwise has me beat?

So after two brutal hands now my chart looks like this:

This game is a lot easier on TV when you can see everyone's hole cards.
