Hey narefa13
Good spotting. The thing about the starting hands charts is that there are so many situational factors that it is hard to get everything into the starting hands charts. They are just a guideline to help beginner's get a feel for profitable preflop play and as such are just a simple introduction. The charts would get too big if we included too much. I would advise reading the articles because the articles can go into more depth in the concepts we need to be thinking about when making preflop decisions. Hope I helped.

The SHC is just a tool to get you a feeling how to play preflop. Not more not less. As a beginner it will help you to not do big mistakes preflop.
The situation you describe is something that you need to work out on your own and for every situation on the table.
The articles here will teach you concepts for single spots but will also not tell you how to play x hands per hour on a pokertable because every situation is different.
To be a good poker player you need to be a thinking player. Work on your game as often as you can and you will improve fast too.
cheers 
Hello there narefa13,
basically this concept is not missing. And it is very simple. If you are faced with more than one raise before you only continue with AA and KK. You should fold also QQ and AK.
This is not written in start handing chart but few lines below.
So here is the rule.
Text in "quote" is a copy of text from this article: How to Play Before the Flop
IF THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE RAISE BEFORE YOU
If there was more than one raise before you, one thing is clear: You're not getting involved if you don't have a monster hand. You only play AA and KK, two aces and two kings. When you do have a monster, your line of play is simple in this scenario: you go all-in.
If there was more than one raise before you, you only play AA and KK and you go all-in.
Two queens (QQ) or ace king (AK) should be folded, just like every other hand that isn't AA or KK.
Hey narefa13
If you are a beginner I suggest you only play premiums (AA,KK). Once you have read/learned more about poker you can do different things with different hands. But it's better not to get fancy if you just started playing poker.
