i missed the gutshot...

don't change anything pre-flop.

on the flop, you say that he "obviously" has a jack. what about 89, 77, AK, QK, etc. When you start building wider ranges you need to include other hands that you don't like, not just J9 etc.

Bet flop 3/4 pot and call the push - knowing that you're losing the pot more often than winning it. Pot odds are strange like that...
You're right. One of my leaks is not putting villains on enough hands they might have and then getting blindsided with a flopped straight or two pair. All I did was check my odds and figure out what my odds to improve were. I assumed a J because while I wouldn't have pushed, I definitely would have raised that bet.

So my bet after the flop should have been stronger for sure. BTW, I made the call, he flipped over KJo (nice to know my read was good) and I did not improve. Still, I just want to check to see if I made the right call. I guess according to pot odds the answer would be no but being marginal I think I would still make that call in the same situation.
