Am I way off here?

[zalkin]

Villain (lupy) is fairly tight and I have created a loose image for the last couple of rounds.

Lupy told em he had 99.
I felt that I could at best beat three hands here, 88, 99 and 1010.

Should I have played this hand in another way to begin with?

I would c/call and not c/raise the flop. Raising will get put in by better hands and fold out worse ones. Not a situation we want.

We're IP.

I would just lead that flop and sometimes c/c.

C/r to fold to a push is spew.

I'd just call the flop lead and go from there, probably folding to a strong turn bet. As a side note, if you're going to raise, you should make it a real raise.

Raise to 4 on the flop and call a re-raise. Just call the flop and probably fold turn.
