My thinking is similar to Texas72's. If you had raised pre-flop, 10 10 isn't exactly an automatic re-raising hand, even playing five-handed. I tend to think a call is at least as likely; after all, even if your hand is only two overcards, the opponent is looking at a coin flip.

After the flop, when you bet again, the opponent has to guess. Are you making a continuation bet without having caught anything, or do you have an overpair? If you do, it's almost certain to be better than his tens, so if he believes you have it, his correct action is to fold.
