If you would have followed Phil Helmuth's top 10 hands guidline this wouldnt have happened.

I like making it t125 and hoping button doesn't call you.

So many ways to outplay people in position....

That's right on the border between pushing and standard raising for me, and if the table is nice and loose/passive pre flop I will limp here. (I have this odd theory of seeing an extra flop when I have an inbetween stack like this if it seems viable.)

I like opening for t125-175. Bet on the higher end if those left to act after you are looser, bet less if they are tighter. Basically, I don't mind trying to build a pot up with 88 in the CO when you only have 640 chips left, so I usually like this over pushing. If you're called, I would generally move all-in no matter what the flop. There are situations where I wouldn't push after the flop; i.e. the flop is bad, you get more than one caller, and you're bet into. But, most of the time I'd put the rest of my chips in.
