why does MP being 1/2-stacked make limping any better than raising? or any better than if he had a full stack?

and what were the "table conditions" or other factors? all you said was that villain just sat down 5 hands ago... had he limped evry hand so far or something that tells you J8 is in his range?

my point is that:
1) you shouldve been all in on the turn and
2) 2pr is more likely than a turned strt.

b/c raising and getting a call from a small stack makes a c-bet very awkward w/ small pairs when you miss your set. also he's probably bad so you can get a decent amount of money from him when you limp and hit your set often enough.
