Wishing won't make it so

So I flop the straight but on a 3 hearts board. Quite early, don't have a read. What would you have done?

Pre-flop out of position I decided to just limp. Good or bad?

On the flop I feel I have to bet, can't give a free card.

On the turn I know he likes his hand and I think I might get a call with a worse hand but this may have been wrongheaded thinking. Obviously if he flopped his flush I'm dead. What would you do in this spot?

Without looking at results I tend to give up easy 4-way in this spot, especially with the broadway paired board. Heads up I might play it the same. 3-way is the toughest.

Funnily enough I played a 3 table sng after this and after doing well for a while I got cold decked and then lost a third of my stack in a few hands bluffing. Then a flop comes all spades, I bet the pot with top pair and get re-raised. You guessed it I lost my stack again. From now on with a single suit flop if I get raised I'm going to damn well fold Anyone want to comment on my pre flop play in the posted hand? Was the limp ok? Would you just check that flop?

i like the probe bet on the flop to see where you stand. with villains re-raise, i call but check behind on the turn. i hate the push here. i have made this mistake too many times and been wrong. on top of the flush, with the paired broadway board, this becomes an even worse situation as now you are losing to any 2 hearts, KJ, KT, JJ, and TT.

the problem with monotone flops an straights is that u dont have a redraw to something better so felting it almost always sucks.

urpreflop is fine
although try not to have 1100 chips at the second level.

I too am ok with the pre-flop limp, but with AQo out of position I am going into turtle mode with a board like this against 3 opps. It's just too early and that board is too scary.
