I think you're wrong about this. To suffer a bad beat, you have to have to be playing a hand that is a strong favorite and weak players get dealt good cards exactly as often as the rest of us. You're just not likely to suffer a true bad beat with J2s no matter how many times you play it.
I don't consider it a bad beat when someone playing T3o flops a pair of tens, turns two pair and then loses to AA when the river brings an Ace. He played inferior cards, he was a dog before the flop ever came down and he finished up by losing. That's not a bad beat, that's just math. What I mean is that if it took a miracle for your hand to ever be a favorite in the first place, it's not a bad beat when your opponent catches his miracle.
