Sorry, mistyped first hand; MP actually raised to $26, then I push...

Hand two; clubs come on turn and river and I DO have two pair on the turn, so I've actually improved. My thinking kinda goes; why only play flushes when you're drawing to them? Why not play them when you're drawing to something else and can push the opp off his hand when the "flush" hits, or get a nice pot when your other outs hit. In this case, if the ten on the turn wasn't a club, how would my hand fair then?
