I really did not know how to play this hand at any street. Would you have checked or bet the flop? What about the continuation bet on the turn? Would you save your chips and show a lot of weakness by checking the river too?

IMO, when the queen falls on the turn, I'd go ahead and see if I can't check it down. You really don't have a ton of chips to throw around, and the blinds are low enough to where you don't need to get yourself into trouble quite yet.

I'd probably check-raise the flop. If the pot were big when it got back me (more than 200), I'd just push.

The problem with betting 90 into all these limpers is that a few are going to call you. With this flop, they either got a piece, a draw, or 2 overcards. Things will get messy for you if a scare card falls on turn. A,K,Q,J,T,7,6,5...all bad.
