Yes, you make perfect sense.
The read I had on him is that the only way I had a shot to win this hand without a club is to bet out on him and represent the club. When he raised, it told me that he had the club, and that if his hand wasn't good before, it was definitely good then, so either he had A9 and/or a club.
I figured at the time that a check would show weakness, and that if he bet into me (remember his 0.65 pFA), I'd be in the same boat. Only difference would be that I would have saved a bet.
My GT+ stats (as I always look at what other players see--using stats just for the session) were something like 15%/7%/3.00, so my table image is one of an extreme TAG.
The problem was that I had a lot of bets invested in the pot, and it just about killed me to lay this down. I was just certain when he raised that he had me beaten.
I played it poorly. I probably should have check/folded the turn, truthfully, but it was consistent with that 3rd session's tradition of me overplaying hands at a table full of donkeys.

Flop middle pair and lead. CO is a flat-out calling station. I end up with 2 pair, but with 4 clubs showing---the 4th club, the
, also wakes up the calling station. I was certain he had a club and was just drawing. Any club beat me and A9 beat me. Should I have called the bet, or did I save myself a bet in the process?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This guy called UTG+1 with 74s. He was extremely laggy, and he didn't even flinch at the bet with the Q on the river. Do I lose this regardless? How could I have played it better--he was 37%/12%/0.74 IIRC. I felt that with this idiot Ace-high could in fact be good.

I can't blame this guy for not laying down AA. Just bad luck with a guy hitting a two-outer that he likely didn't even know was behind.
