Re: $50, Big Sem-Bluff Early
Preflop fold K-J, it's too weak to play in this relatively early position. Also just call if you are gonna play it for a variety of reasons. On the flop I don't see why not just do a standard continuation bet of ~100 trying to pick the pot up right there. If he calls reavaluate depending on the turn. The way you played it I would just fold after he puts in a solid bet. The checkraise all in isn't a disaster but it commits too many chips for my taste, however if you were feeling it at the time go with it.

Re: $50, Big Sem-Bluff Early
KJo is a pretty standard fold pf? Good to know. What about KJs or KQo? In that early/middle position what do you need to raise
On the flop, I'm going for the check/raise because i think he'll just be cont. betting a lot of the time. By that logic though, I think leading does the same thing, except i don't win his bet. Once he makes the bet, it's push or fold I think. I went with push, but I could see folding an option. I'm not worried about conserving chips, I'm worried about taking my +EV spots. Not sure if this was one.

Re: $50, Big Sem-Bluff Early
I'd recommend looking at Championship No limit holdem for beginners by Cloutier and McEvoy, it has good advice on starting hand selection since you asked. I don't think his bet should be called a continuation bet since he didn't raise preflop, you did. The main reason I don't like a check raise here is that you're risking aout 800 to win about 300, I personally don't think you'll get him to fold often enough to make it work. Like I said, I persinally would just lead out the flop to avoid risking my whole stack, but if you want to play it a little riskier to have a chance at more chips, it's certainly not a terrible play.

Re: $50, Big Sem-Bluff Early
KJ is fine to play from this position if you know how to play dominated hands but at the blinds at 10/15 it's a meh. With higher blinds I like your play since you may get the blinds and if called, you still have a nice hand but that goes back to the beginning of my post, can you play dominated hands?
At this blind level I fold preflop, at higher blinds, it's a 100% raise. Oh yea, make a continuation bet on the flop.
