Re: Going too far with Tens?
I appreciate MrBlueNose’s astute comments about third and fourth streets. By folding earlier, we wouldn’t find ourselves in this fifth-street situation. None-the-less, here we are.

5th st: Should I check/call? Once I got raised, I figured I was probably behind jacks up, but thought I should call for one bet.

I don’t know the answer to your question, and I look forward to what the experts (in addition to MrBlueNose) will say. I’d play fifth street as you did.
I think the alternative would be to give it up with a check-fold. The problem is that you still don’t know where you stand if you check and are bet into. Was the bet a result of your showing weakness, or did the jack help the bettor?
By betting, you’ve defined your hand. You know that you’re probably against jacks up, and you have by far the worst of it. However, you can see sixth street for one big bet. I’d call, and then lay it down on sixth street, as you did.
