This hand was honestly played pretty poorly. Your call on the turn is fairly awful, and if you were that intent on seeing the river, then check-call (which actually might be the best play i think.) if you don't get there on the low end and he pots the river, you fold then. If you do get the nut low make sure to bet it, cause if by some fluke you were winning on the high he will call thinking you just made a low
Betting the turn isn't so bad, but calling the pot-raise is without a doubt a bad idea, you are winning on the high side (a set-bluffing a flush) maybe 1/6 times, and you need the low to get there still. Just fold it, you can chop these guys up later when you have something good

I love people who just pluck numbers out of thin air as fact. It is much closer that he is winning the turn 5 out of 6 times than 1 out of 6 times, even if he gets raised on the turn. If you think players only raise the nuts here on the turn, you would be mistaken because the guy betting out the turn will not always only have a king high flush or better. The turn gets shoved when you think you are likely ahead, Queen high flush is likely good, if you're opponent is a rock then you can fold, however if it's a regular player, call.
