I probably wouldn't have stayed in after the flop, but I think I'm probably a tighter (and more predictable, unfortunately) player than you. Even with 17 outs (I count that, too), you're still only at about 35% or 2 to 1 against. Not knowing what the pot counts were, it's tough to say whether betting 4x BB and 6x BB were good plays with those odds.
It's true that you had a lot of outs, but after not seeing a club on the turn and with another player pushing hard, I probably would have folded anyway. Either way, you thought about what you were doing, and you made a stand. That's worth something in itself, because you weren't just letting the cards roll over you.
