No reads, was starting to get torn on the turn, on river villain could've spiked top pair or had trips. What do you all think, are there bluffs?

MP (hero) 114.2BB
BU 150.6BB

Hero is dealt 6

Hero raises 3BB, BU calls 3BB, Sb and BB fold (both ~100BB stacks)
(7.5BB) 8

Hero checks, BU bets 3.6BB, Hero calls
(14.7BB) 8

Hero checks, BU bets 10.4BB, Hero calls
(35.5BB) 8

Hero checks, BU bets 31.8BB, Hero ???

With 2 flush draws there definitely are bluffs possible. The problem is that a lot of them got there on the river. It's the perfect card for him to barrel if he was on a bluff but the reason that is the case is because you don't beat much anymore. I play it the same way and dump river without hesitation. There will be better spots.

I typically c-bet flop here because villain has 6+ outs with basically his whole range. We also get value from draws and Ax/Kx floats. Don't need to go too large.

As played I would fold river.

I think the ace is better for our range OTR and so having a donking range might have some merit (some Ax's, some bluffs?), but I would prefer donking hands that have less SDV.
