Raise preflop, bet the flop, now what?

Hero is BB with AQs. 3 limpers, SB folds, Hero raises. Flop comes 279r. Hero bets, 3 callers. Turn is a 5. Now what?

I'll use this one hand as an example.

He says AQs. OK. Flop: 279r

That's not enough information. Did I get one of my suits on the flop? If so, that's improvment and the bd strenthens my overcards.

3 limpers. This isn't enough information. What type of player are they? Where'd limp from?

For example, if it's a TAP on the button that limped, there's a decent chance that the rags hit him, etc.

You have to consider a lot of different factors to play overcards well. The fact that these factors were missing in the OP, led me to believe that the poster is missing knowledge to play overcards well. (Not that I'm an expert at it...goes without saying - but just so we all know I know it [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img])
