It's one of those hands where we are in position and super deep which is a good thing, but we have a hand where we're not getting it all in against a worse hand.
His check raise isn't full pot so I don't think it's a set, but it could be a set plus a nut flush draw (unlikely) or just a flush draw (quite likely).
Call his raise. If he checks a blank turn bet and if he bets a blank turn call.
If a club hits and he checks, then check behind and if he bets you should fold.
The reason you check behind is if you bet, there is nothing worse than top 2 he calls with and if he has better (a set) he calls and you really can't barrel again on the river since he might be sandbagging a flush.
All in all i'm happy 1 pot sized bet going in on each street when I have top 2 pair. I may fold if the 6 pairs the board as we now lose to AA+flush draw.
The worse thing you can do is shove as the whole range of hands stacking off against you at that point is a set + flush&wraps which either flip or crush you.
