After takeoff at approximately 500 feet; after retracting the landing gear the engine started skipping. It appeared to be some sort of fuel issue so I switched on the emergency electric fuel pumps and this did help a little. The engine was running very rough so I headed back to the airport. With the windy conditions and poorly running engine I was barely able to reach the airport runway. I was trying to fly the plane and due to insufficient time and preparation I did not extend the landing gear; which was the reason of the gear up landing.
C210 pilot reported an engine problem after takeoff that resulted in a gear up landing.
