SB is 32/22/1.9. 3Bets 18% from the SB.
BB is 29/21/1.8. He does have a high fold to flop cbet at 35%.

Can a fold be justified or should I just call?

how is 35% fold to flop cbet *high* ? since we only hit flop about 33% of the time, that means he's calling on the flop on half of the remaining boards that don't pair his holecards.

I'm guessing BBs range is more likely an over pair, 9x, 5x or 8x than Ax. Not sure how we determine likelihood of SB raising. I tend to be optimistic and think SB is going to shut down now which would give us just the right price to call without factoring in implieds.

Is there any merit in 3betting here (and giving up on the river if we miss)? Wondering if it might shut both players up on the turn but at the same time make them more likely to call a river bet on a club. Just a thought....

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict the consensus will be to fold because the laggy SB behind us is more likely to raise than call and we may not get any more value on the river from worse hands when we hit the flush.

+1, I like obadonke's assessment. I think 3-betting this spot is a little too aggressive, especially if SB may be capping

I'm not familiar at all with 3/6 limit, but what do we expect the BB to have in this spot?

He called 3 bets cold preflop, so shouldn't we tend to discount 9x 8x 5x hands unless we're talking about 55/88/99? He should have TT+ a lot when he raises the turn(?)

We should be able to extract one bet from at least one player when we hit our flush, right?
How often would hitting a K be good as well?

I think he would likely cap TT+ preflop, especially JJ+.
