Flopped low end straight OOP

[leddytech]

I just joined the table so I had no reads. On the flop, I was contemplating pushing after MP3 raised it. But, I was actually scared he might have T9o because there were a good amount of callers. For some reason, I decided to wait for a safe card on the turn before pushing. What could I have done better on the flop? Is the river a call?

Hero should 3-bet the flop. Calling isn't very good b/c any diamond,9, T, 5, 4 and to a lesser degree, 6, 7, 8, all kill/hurt your action. That's like half the deck. Just 3-bet all in on the flop.
