Easy fold?

On flop, you have a pair, overcard and backdoor flush draw. I would have raised the flop to find out where you are. Then you can fold unimproved to further aggression from SB on turn.

The way you played it, it's hard to figure out what's out there, but even if you do have the best hand at the moment, there are a ton of ways for the river to hurt you. So, I'd fold here too. But I wouldn't put it in the "easy fold" category.
