seems pretty bad to me. i would probably just limp after the two players with a hand like 88. you don't mention reads of either player, which is unfortunate, they are limping first and second to act....you notice anything about them?

on the flop, when you raise what do you think your opponent does in response to your raise? Let's say he has a hand like AK.....he probably folds. But that is bad for you, you are winning and he is folding.

imagine he has a hand like 99, JJ, or KK. Even a hand like TJhh or something like that. when you raise, you let him call and play a bigger pot with you while having a strong/winning hand (or at least a very strong draw).

on the turn, since you have all your money in there, i guess call. but it's very ugly in my opinion.

Im open ended straight flush draw....you don't just insta call the turn? and I put him on the A7 I was close since he had A5

The preflop raise is fine. I'd go with 120, but 150 is just as good.

The flop raise was HORRIBLE. Absolutely brutal. Even calling the flop bet is a bit on the questionable side. You've got all of six outs and a weak backdoor flush draw, which means (if my math is correct), that you're not receiving the correct pot odds to continue in the hand.

As played on the flop, calling the turn is standard.

5x is perfect for 2 limpers 4x is way to small as they both call 100% of the time and you don't want that with a mid pair. Played fine I sometimes call the flop usually I am ahead but calling here scares most people.
