Hello guys.
I am not sure how i should play this hand. Maybe c/r is an option here. I dont want to cbet as i expect his range to has a lot of 10 right ? I know i suppose to raise x4 OOP but this size is working fine for me so far.
Any help appreciated.

Villain is a bad reg.

Why would you c/r when you expect his range to have a lot of 10?

I would of played it the same as you played it.

By c/r i thought i could represent a set because c/r in my stakes, between regs
is either a set or a flush draw most of times. c/r flop and bet turn to get his 10 to fold was my idea. On the otherhand i have a decent SDV and i am ahead of his Ax Kx so bluffing is not a good idea right? What about cbet for protection ? Is this not a spot to protect my 99 against all his Ax Kx ?

I think betting or check-calling are both better than check-raising. Your hand is neither a fat value hand or a strong enough draw to be bloating the pot hugely OOP. Villain shouldn't fold hands like AT/KTs to a check-raise.
As played is fine/standard, as you just want to get to a cheap showdown.
