Simple situation here, but I felt very confused. At first I thought I should 3-bet for value, then thought I should just complete given that I was out of position. Finally, when I missed the flop I thought of c-betting but then didn't ...just felt a bit out at sea. How could this be played more effectively? A definitive 3 bet and c-bet strategy?

UTG raiser was a 21/15 and BB was a 56/13

Pre-Flop: (0.03, 5 players) Hero is BB A♣: J♠:
UTG raises to $0.08, 2 folds, SB calls $0.07, Hero calls $0.06

I don't really like to call here. We are OOP against an big UTG opener and a calling fish, and what flop would really help us?
For me, it's a 3-bet or fold where I would prob choose to fold most of the time because with a 3-bet you turn your hand more or less into a bluff.

as played: check/fold flop is my play too

Terminology: When you missed the flop, you can't think about c-betting. You might donk though.

Calling preflop is the worst option. Call against very bad players only (if ever).

It’s funny to see that you gave the BB 56/13 stats, because that’s you. I expect you mean the SB here.
I would fold pre-flop as well against an open of a regular from UTG. Flop is a fold as well.

If you were SB your strategy would be to fold pre.
Now that you are BB, there was an open from UTG and a call from SB, you can squeeze.

For me this would be a squeeze, for others that would be a fold. Doesn't matter that much. But as Yohan already said, calling was the worst option.

OTF you are multiway in a sandwich, just check here.
