My thoughts: From my read I knew he had KK, AA, QQ or maybe AKs
I figured I had:
1 out for royal straight flush (10)
3 outs for a straight (3 other tens)
8 outs for nut flush (remaining s)
+ some very small chance of hitting 2 more J's
= about 4x12= 48% chance to win
if he had AK I get 2 more outs for two remaining J's = 4x14=52%
So I'm close to a coin flip here I would say.
Would you have called this

The pot odds are 64:34, or 1.88:1 so since you are about 1:1 to call this I would. It has +EV in the long run, even though you lost this time.

With the money already, you'll be fine.

It's also worth noting that your opponent almost certainly has a set here and can pair the board to have you drawing dead to a royal flush, so not only do you have to hit one of your draws, you will usually have to avoid a whole collection of cards on the turn and river. I don't really think it's worth it.

PokerStove says:

1.78 : 1 odds and your pot odds are 1.88 : 1. It is a slightly EV+ call. So . . . even if he flopped his cards up and you knew what he had, it is a good call. Not by much, but still a good call.

3x A's , 3x Q's and 1x K = 7 cards to make me need the royal straight flush after the turn. Not too bad I think, but a good point still.

Can't argue with PokerStove. Call that bitch!
