I forget. Either a $6 +$0.60 turbo or an $11 + $1 turbo.

Meh about the limp PF - your stack is already damaged and you can't stand any raise. But I can see doing this occasionally at a passive table.

Bet more on the flop, something like t200. You got called in two spots, the flush draw got there so you're in "check/fold" mode from now on.

I don't have any problem with the limp PF with 88. I bet a bit more on the flop and check the turn and fold to any strength. I might call a small bet on the turn and river, but nothing serious.

Overall I think that betting more like 250 on the flop would put you in much better position for the rest of the hand. You limped with a marginal hand and don't have the odds to set mine so you must take down pots with TP like this hand. Betting 1/2 pot into a draw heavy board with PF limpers involved seems like a poor idea to me. Make it full pot or check postflop IMO.
