Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Hero limps. 5 folds. Button raises to 120. SB folds. BB calls 120. Hero calls 60.

Flop [Jh] [Qs] [Kh]

BB bets 200. Hero?

Nobody likes this one, huh? Well, how many times have you been in this situation? It's a fairly common hand, actually. There are more ways to go broke than win with it, and that's the difference between tournament play and ring play. A ring game player would figure out his pot odds and go from there. If he gets stacked, he reloads, but the tournament player goes home.

Shall we continue with it to the end, or start with a new hand?

After we get a consensus, I'll tell you how I played it.
