Default Party $11: Poorly played straight in level 1

As it turns out, I simply don't know how to play poker and I had a bad feeling the entire hand. I get my open ended straight draw on the flop, but it's the ass end and there's a flush draw out so I'd be pretty happy if someone bet their ace heavily here and I could just fold. Instead, my evil foes decide to give me great odds so I call the measly 25 and hit my straight on the turn. I don't feel that confident that my hand is even best right now since QJ is a very common limping hand and as an added bonus there are now two flush draws out. I have to bet here to see where I stand, but I believe this is the first big error, my 100 bet seems too small?

So I get not one but two callers, fantastic. I guess the J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] would be the worst possible river card, but the J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is a pretty close second. Should I just check/fold this now or take another stab?

Maybe I should just stop completing with hands like this in the SB since I'm having so much troubles with post flop play?
