Default 88 against possible continuation bet

Pokerstars .50/1.00

4-handed

I am SB with 88. I have around $100. CO ($35) open-limps, Button ($31) raises to $4, I call, CO calls.

I have no good reads (though table seems a little loose in general), and will be honest and admit I totally didnt notice stack sizes when I called preflop. (If I had, I probably would have reraised).

Flop ($13): 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, CO checks, Button bets $5, I call, CO folds.

Button's bet seems weak, so I'm not ready to give him credit for a J. Question is, should I raise or just call here? Problem with a call is it gives great odds to CO if he has spades, and I'm not sure what to do on turn.

Turn ($22): 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet $13, Button raises all-in, I call.

My flop c/c, turn lead left me in an akward position because of the stack sizes. I called because I'm getting like 5:1. Thought about checking turn, but didn't want to give a free card to spade draw or (more likely) missed AK/AQ etc. that would just check behind and c/f river if they don't improve.

c/c flop, lead turn is a line I take with a fair # of hands, and definitely against suspected continuation bets. But I didn't like it much here. Any suggestions on how to play this better?
