I both agree and disagree with this somewhat. After the flop, getting 3 to 1 on your money [I]just[/I] chasing the flush is actually mathematically correct at this point. If you blank on the turn, then it's time to get away, definitely, but 9 outs to improvce after the flop makes this a fairly easy call.
 
That said, I also question somewhat the preflop decision of opening from middle position with an easily dominated hand, but once you've done so, you hit a great flop for your hand and should see it out at least one more street. What result did you expect/hope to get when you raised with this hand? Short of a boat flop, or AQJh, you could hardly order anything better. So, you get better than you had any rigfht to expect, and wanna cave to a standard raise? Just suppose, for a moment, that a K had hit the board on the flop, and a 1/2 pot raise came in front of you, then what? Fold? Go allin, knowing you could easily be really thin already?
 
These are the pitfalls (some of) of not thinking ahead.
