NL 50 Making a mess of 99 v kXXX

[bluffbetter]

Villain is 36.8/12.8/2.3 over 58 hands

I have been playing tight. It was one of those hands where I just decided he was messing me about because the bet sizing did not look confident, but I think this was really bad play.

Maybe I should just raise the flop to both rep a king and find out where I am, and then slow down if called.
