That's a hideous board.

I don't mind how you played it. You're very likely up against the nut flush. He's laying you a little better than 3.5 to 1 draw at 10 outs, so the odds aren't there strictly, but if you catch a boat, you're going to stack him.

The turn play there is thin, but I think correct. River is fine.

Board is sosososo bad, but I think you have to call the turn getting 4.5 to 1 odds when you likely have 10 outs (so ~20% to win or 4:1 against) on the river. Add in some implied odds and it gets better.
