Re: pot equity question
Raise. As 86clubs says, you have the top pair and want people to pay to draw against you. If someone is holding AA, that's Poker.
You are not likely to find out much more on the turn. A 10 or 6 would help you a lot, of course, but not give you nuts. A 9 or club worries you a bit, but not too much. Any non-club below 9 is good for you, but you're not going to jump out of your chair and cheer about it.
One of the other players is likely to learn much more. They could pair one of their cards, or make their club flush or make their straight.
When the other players learn more from seeing the next card than you do, you generally want to raise or fold. In this case, raise.
Another consideration is that if you won't raise with a top pair, people will figure out that you only raise with two pair or better, and no one will call your raises except when they've got that beat.
