Anyone want to comment on this? When he calls my flop bet, I should realize he has a strong hand - he probably doesn't have an ace - but possible hands are AK, AQ, KQ AJ, JJ, 1010. His small raise of my turn bet makes me think it has to be the nuts, but at that point I've got a lot of money in with a lot of outs. Anyone play this differently? Should I play lighter on the turn?

You really can't be afraid of the nuts here, and even if you are beat like you are here, like you said you got quite a bit of outs to still come out the winner. Sometimes you just run into monsters.
