Hero (SB): $5 (100 bb)
BB: $5 (100 bb)
CO: $6.29 (125.8 bb) VPIP:28/PFR:17/Hands:48/Steal:25/Fold-to-3bet:0(2)
BTN: $3.09 (61.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J K
CO raises to $0.12, BTN folds, Hero raises to $0.45, BB folds, CO calls $0.33

I don't think it's a good defense hand. If he calls we are totally dominated all the time. It may not be strong enough to flat either, so I guess folding would be more profitable scenario for this case.

Flop: ($0.95) 2 3 J (2 players)
Hero bets $0.68, CO raises to $1.50, Hero raises to $4.55 and is all-in, CO calls $3.05

I don't know what to do here. I don't see any reasons to shove, but if I call his raise now, I'm calling most turns too: I will have to with a TPGK and a FD. So I figured that as long as I'm calling turn anyway, I might as well shove flop and see if I can make him fold bluffs that still have equity ... which there's almost none, but the alternative would be to fold right away.

Hi,

KJs is imo too strong to fold pre-flop. Players would usually 3-bet that hand, since it folds out a lot CO openings and he is also likely r/f Ax hands and sometimes r/c worse Kx and Jx hands.
Since you hit one of the best boards it is standard bet/shove line. Your equity is highest on the flop and since you won´t fold any turn card it is usually best idea to get all-in on the flop against flushdraws, worse Jx hands, sometimes lower pp-s

best regards,
