The player was 34% to hit the straight... not really much of a bad beat

no 4 9's plus 4 k's. It was a double gutshot draw, which is mathematically equivalent to an open ended str8 draw. And he did push! If you let him in cheap he's perfectly entitled to call a loose one with QT. He hits a big flop and pushes knowing that there are very few hands you can call with. It is a bad beat but it happens. JJ sucks and there is no correct way to play it. Keep playing well and you will win those hands more often than not :)))))
