    i would have folded as only 2 get paid and you would be dominated by pocket ten up.
    As in this situation your stacks were about even so you still has room to play.
    You wouldnt have lost much folding preflop.
    Maybe a small raise first to get info preflop.
    If he would have reraised here then you know your facing strength.
    If he flat calls preflop then you could gather more info cheaply on later streets.

    I don't mind the play but again this depends a bit on reads. If the villain is unwilling to make risky calls then a push is just fine. I hate a standard raise here as you can so easily be pushed on and have to fold but is the least risky play and probably the one your not going broke on. A limp I think is also incorrect as you will be out of position for the rest of the hand.

    Good shove.

    You don't want to play postflop with 99 OOP against a short stack, and you don't want to make a standard raise and have him come over the top. In the long run the shove is profitable. He needs a huge hand to call here and unfortunately he managed to pick one up.
