YOu've got some showdown value but raising turns our hand into a bluff and is probably spew in this case.

personally I think raising on turn is best. Because lets face it a set will not call us if the next club comes and we want to charge for higher flushes to catch.

I'm happy with 6BB to see... but prolly beaten.
Usually hands that would do this would be a pesky J of clubs or Q clubs... trying to get some thin value or a straight or even a set.
