In this hand you should know you are going to want to see the turn and the river, you are drawing to a nut flush and a straight flush, at least 10.5 outs. Prior to the turn you only need the pot to contain 1.6 times your bet to be profitable, if the turn misses you, and it did you will now need 3.6 times you bet to be profitable in the long run. Most of the time the pot will be offering good odds to draw to a flush when you need one card.
