why do I keep hitting hands versus 3 flush flops?

I think I made the right play even though I lost a monster pot. I figured that anyone with the flush would not push, no way I could have known he flopped that. I also don t think this was a bad beat at all, this was just cold deck.

Would you have played this differently?

I can't get the link to load but I wouldn't be afraid to call a push on a suited flop if I've hit. I think it's more likely the guy has the Ace or King in this situation and doesn't want to be called a fish by calling bets, lol.
I think a big mistake a lot of players make is being too afraid of suited flops.

I was playing the jacks for set value, so I figured I would just come along, but I guess I could have raised, my position wasnt great so.

BTW, this was actually a bad beat, he is a 2:3 dog at the flop, he has a total of 11 outs. I m glad I called.
