What do you think of the PFR after 4 limpers? Is it big enough? Too big? Should I have pushed? Limped?

What about the bet on the flop?

I think I'd make it 150 if I was raising, but I'd almost certainly limp here. As you played it, I like the flop bet.

I would definitely limp here preflop, but if you're going to raise would make it slightly more like 150-175, and I think the way you played it preflop, the flop bet is fine.

Yeah - I agree. Although sometimes I'll raise. It is very table and image dependent though.

I move allin here. Screw this! 165 chips in the pot and we have only a bit over 700, these chips are very valuable to us. Meanwhile we almost surely have the best hand, and might even get called by some moron with an underpair. I do not want anyone seeing the flop with me, and I think there are just way too many chips in the pot to limp and "play for a set".

That is indeed another option, yeah. Hadn't noticed the pot was already at 20% of our stack. Good spot.
