Is it as simple as giving him credit for top pair and folding? Or is there another line the heads-up pros would take?

I'd probably fold this. If it was 3 clubs, I might reraise.

Re: Battle of the blinds (I hate heads up)
 

I had a very similar situation recently where I flopped middle pair out of the BB against the small blind.. he bet out, I raised.. he raised all-in for his last bit.. I had him covered and by that time I was too deep into the hand to turn back (I think I was getting like 4 or 5:1, something big).. He had top pair and it held up.. I am a very stubborn player in heads-up or SB vs. BB situations

I would fold here. He did an over bet when he raised, but I would give him credit for top pair or 2 pair and he doesn't want you to hit a flush draw.

With 2 clubs out there, you could check the flop, then call a small bet if he makes one. If you catch a K or another 6, you're in business, if you catch a club, your check call is in perfect shape for a semi-bluff with your flush draw. Check-call smells like you're chasing the flush to him. If you don't hit one of your 13 "betting" outs ( K, 6, spade ) check and be ready to give up the hand to another bet on the turn. If he checks behind, then lead the turn. Maybe you lead the turn regardless. I think the way this played out, you probably have to fold. Hrmm... I hate playing out of position, but this is one possible line, too tired to decide if it's good or not.

Seeing as you didn't raise preflop, its hard to put him on a hand. He could be calling with Jrag, you wouldn't know. I think you have to give him credit and fold.
