There's still a ton of cards you don't want to see, and if villain bets the turn you're in a real tight spot

Wrong question - you should be asking "Am I committed?", as any decent c-bet will put half of villain's stack in the pot, and you can't really fold to a shove at that point.

When you made the big pre-flop raise, what was your plan for the hand if an overcard flops, as it will half the time? If you don't want a big pot with this hand, then just calling the pre-flop raise would have been better - you have position, and if you flop an overpair you can start building a big pot by raising his automatic flop c-bet.
