I am an idiot (or?)! How should I have played?? 400$ HU

This is a shorthanded table where people left so we just got heads up. Villain only played one orbit before, so I have no reads.

I though I hit bingo when my flush hit, which should be pretty well disguised.
When he raised me, on the turn, I pushed.

Directly after I pushed, I realized that the only hand that would have called my push would have been a made boat, i.e. a hand that beat me.

But how should I play?
If I just call I have no clue where I stand, and what do I do if he pushes on the river?
A fourth club might kill my action or kill my hand if he would have the [Ac]

.

A likely holding is [Th]

/[Ts]x, how do I get that to pay me off?
Then he still has 10 outs, (a ten, three 9s, three 5s and three hitting his kicker).

Hmm, I am not that good at this I realize. Help needed!

What's wrong with raising to $10? That's my bet SH at 2/4 if I'm opening...

When you bring it to $10 you're asking him to call just $6 for a $14 pot. So you're giving him 2.33:1 +position, and have no chance to just take the blinds.

I am getting nervous!
When I agree with Xaston, and he think I played it well, I definately need to slow down and revisit my game! :-D

My stupid close to minraise didn't do anything on the flop, more than build a pot OOP with a marginal holding. Won't happen again.

And on the turn, I think I have changed my mind and like the push.
The only thing that I am behin is a made boat, and I think he would have raised 99 PF, so that leaves only 55 and T9. And if he has that I guess I will go bust anyways.

Whatever else holding he would be willing to put more money into the pot with, he has a lot of outs. Any T has ten outs. And e.g., [Ac]

is like 40% to win. And the pot is big as it is, I am happy to take it down now.

But what really scares me is the Xaston comment ;-)
