More or less this.
I'm never shipping the flop because
#1) I fold out a ton of lessor hands I beat, (garbage underpairs that put me on AK)
#2) I would rather peel off a non-spade turn and force the FD to get his money in when 1/2 his equity has been cut out from under him
#3) By merely calling the flop lead out, I allow V to make more mistakes on the turn
#4) BY calling the flop bet when in position we allow ourselves to gather more info about both villains and use our POSITION to exploit both
In general, whenever I have a really strong hand and I'm in position and a player blasts the pot in front of me on the flop, I prefer to just call. Because of position, Villain will cut his own throat for me, so I can just sit back and let him do the work. This keeps his range wide and allows him to continue his aggression with a ton of lessor hands.
