Well, you can't fold to a 3 bet, he's not folding a better hand, and never a draw. The only thing you can hope to fold is a hand that's way behind. I just call down.

Edit: What was your reason behind the turn raise?

If he is drawing to the A-hi flush then he just sucked out on you.

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by raising the stop 'n go. Getting 3-bet would truly suck. What were your thoughts?

[ep510]

I raised because:

(1) I could be ahead, so the raise is for value, and to charge him for a draw.
(2) I'm behind to an ace, but villian could have raised pf with Axs, and donkbet this turn with top pair. However, I doubt he'll 3-bet with a weak ace, and possibly not even with AK, AQ. If this is the case, then raising will often gain me an extra bet because if I were to just call turn and hit, villian could likely check-call river because of the 4 to a straight on the board.

You raise for a free showdown when you might have the best hand but can safely fold to a 3-bet. This is NOT the case here as you are very likely behind but could suck out. Call--free showdowns are like the free card play--overrated when overused.
