Good fold for me.
You've got reasonable pot and implied odds for your outs, but being safe I'd put SB on a flush draw too - which means he's got to have higher than your 56 so if it hits he's got it and if it doesn't he beats you anyway.
With UTG and Button still to play, after a half-pot bet and call, I think folding is your only option.

I think I would have just bet out to begin with.

This is pretty tough actually. The all-in player is going to freeze the action here most of the time and often get you a free river card. You are getting pretty good odds here as long as no one has a bigger flush draw.

I'd probably grit my teeth and call. If the Big stack is known to be aggressive in spots like this I guess I would fold.

Yah I was thinking I could get a free ride but then I realized there was an ace on the board and anybody with it wasn't going to let me get my free ride.

I wonder how this would be different on a Q high flop.

Most people will still check it down with an A.

I think folding is fine, and I don't like betting out the flop at all.
