Anyhow concerning if you can call or fold...
We're getting 11.50:2 to call, 5.75:1

We need 10.5:1 to call so must pick up atleast 5BB's to make it .25BB profitable.

For me, This is a fold simply because as said you may split with another Ten and will you even get 5BBs?

This is not true, the odds you're getting are 11.5:2 NOT 5.75:1. There's an important differance. The odds against hitting the gut-shot is 21:2, thus you'll have to make 9.5BB on the river ( 21 - 11.5 = 9.5 ). Calling here would be really really terrible.
