Default Overcards hit with Turn Raise

I have two questions on this hand.

1. Am I supposed to bet this turn when the J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3rd club) fell?

- I bet because I figured there was still a good chance I was ahead, had some fold equity, and didn't want to give a free card.

2. Am I supposed to fold to this turn raise?

- Figured that I didn't have 6 outs because there was at least some chance he already had the flush.

Betting the turn is fine, you're rooting for your opponent to fold. Once it's raised, folding is fine. It's not just the flush that you're drawing dead to.

Looks well played to my untrained eyes. Even if you improve on the river two of your outs put 4 clubs on board. There is a high probability you are drawing dead or drawing extremely slim. Betting the turn is fine because there is a good chance you still have the best hand but when faced with a checkraise there is nothing you can beat but a bluff.

Looks good to me. The turn sucks. You can't really call the check-raise, but you don't want to give a single club a free river, either.
