Default help me play this better

5/10 NL eff. stacks 800

Villain is pretty good LAG, usually shows
down the nuts but is tricky, more than capable of making moves. He views me as Laggish, not having a good day, etc.

Hero is SB w/ 22. 5 limpers. I have been involved in 2 big pots and had to lay down biggish hands.

flop 10h 3h 2h.... I overbet the pot to 120... Villain raises to 300, I think he has a medium PP or a 10 with a heart... I decide he doesn't have the flush and push. ???? is this okay?

The overbet stinks pretty bad.

You lead into a 4 people, first in, from the blinds, in an unraised pot with a fat overbet.... nobody thinks you're bluffing.

After that overbet... you can almost fold to his raise....

i'd be scared if someone called that overbet much less raised.

absolutely, normally I would muck immediately but his raise stunk to me - I was very sure he would trap me even w/ a baby flush based on his previous play, and I had been LAGging it up pretty bad, he has a history of "huge calls"
where he snapped off what I thought were excellent bluffs with bottom pair, etc. So basically he thinks I just bluff all the time, even ridiculous overbets into 4 people.

Some of you would be very surprised by what he raised and called a push with, but he told me after the hand because of his equity there was no way he could fold after putting 1/3 of his stack in.
