I have been lurking at 2+2 for a couple of years now, and have finally come to the conclusion thay learning by osmosis aint gonna work for me. I was gonna write my poker history here, but who wants to be bored with that. I need some help with hand number 2 below (and hand 1 if you want). Normally I would fold both (ok, maybe just the first) hands preflop, but he was letting me limp so I didnt fold anything. This hand occured first:

I think I equally want to fold, call and raise. I probably picked the worst option. What do you think?
ps. Hello to everyone, hopefully you'll be seeing a lot of me (and my excessive use of parentheses).
