Not really. If there is an overcard, then against most reasonable players, raising a cbet in a single raised pot [not 3bet, etc.] is a complete bluff and never for value and the "protection" argument simply wouldnt make a ton of sense except maybe on some incredibly draw heavy boards. This is not one of those situations.

Yes. Im almost never folding TT to a single cbet when there is one overcard on the board, but with 44 Im almost never calling a cbet.
