Default 66 + Flush Draw -- Push or Call

This situation came up relatively early in a 5.50 STT on Poker Stars. How would you guys play it?



PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1430)
UTG+1 (t1520)
Hero (t1420)
MP2 (t1170)
CO (t1720)
Button (t1690)
SB (t1250)
BB (t3300)

Preflop: Hero is in MP1 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t90</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t150</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, Hero calls t60

Flop: (t345) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">Button bets t150</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t480</font>, Button calls t330

Turn: (t1305) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]


Notes:

The check raise on the flop was a calculated risk. At the time I figured a check raise would be much more convincing as representing the made flush. So, I went that way instead of a straight raise. Unfortunately for me he called, so at that point it was clear he had either made a K pair or had a set. This left me with a hard decision on the Turn.

Acknowledging that the pre flop raise with 66 and the call of the reraise was loose and stupid, do you still c/f the flop and the turn once you find yourself in that spot?

I don't think the call of the reraise as played is too bad, but yeah, we've not hit a set so we shutdown.
