Is there a chart where I can see how many BBs I should call with which hands? I'm kind of clueless about which cards to call on etc.

Nope, no such chart exists.
If you could play poker by just doing what you are supposed to do, it wouldn't be much fun.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

No no... not talking about that kind of chart... lol but I did see FTR's preflop strategies with their hand rankings. I just need to know what NL they were playing

Not sure what your question is ragin, but you basically don't want to be calling raises, you want to be making them. Poker is situational, so it depends on position, size of raise, what you know about your opponent, etc...
Read the pre-flop strategy essays, I think I mention some scenarios about calling and not calling raises there.

def. check those essays out. i can't even tell you what they have done for my game. i consider myself a tight/aggressive player, and think it works best for me. i can't remember in exactly which essay it is, but there is something to the effect that you don't want to be the one getting raised on, you want to be the one doing the raising. i keep that in mind every time i play. i want to be the one in control from the instant my cards are dealt to me. if you don't feel comfortable doing that, IMO, you should lay the hand down.

Don't ever call. Bet four times the big blind pre flop, or bet the pot.
That will get you started on a good scale. if you are going to bet, bet like you mean it.
there are many many special cases where you sould bet more or less or call or fold, or cry, or quit poker for life, or start drinking heavily or whatever. you'll learn them.
If you aren't willing to bet the pot because your hand isn't strong enough, you should fold.
there's a whole bunch more special cases about how big your stack is realative to other players and your table image and what you've cought on the last few hands and "are you feeling luck punk?"
the more hands you see the more you'll be able to adjust your bets and raises.
good luck

Early on the one thing I learned that radically changed my game was: Call Less and Raise More I changed from tight passive to slightly loose aggressive.
Learn the starting hand rankings and use them as a "recommendation" but experience will tell you when to lay down A-Ks and when to reraise with J-T.
