Default set on a board full of draws

I think I botched this hand, even though I took it down. There was a lot of limping pre-flop, so I was surprised to see it go heads-up right away. Is there a better line for me to take here?

BB was a maniac whose chip stack and been yo-yo'ing. I'd doubled up against him early when he pushed TT pre-flop against my KK.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

Button (t760)
SB (t660)
BB (t630)
UTG (t790)
UTG+1 (t285)
MP1 (t955)
Hero (t1510)
MP3 (t810)
CO (t1600)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t30, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (t75) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, BB calls t100.

Turn: (t275) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t50</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t500</font>, BB folds.

No point emptying out here, as it's far more likely your opponent just hit top pair than he did make a straight. I'm also less-afraid of draws when the action's heads up.

Make it 200 to go on the turn and proceed from there.

I would play it the same way. I've been burned too many times. I might even have bet more on the flop.

I really don't see this board as being particularily draw heavy unless you oppenent happen to have the flush draw, its much more liekly that they are drawing dead, why would they check the flop then min bet the turn with a draw?
