Flat calling on the flop puts over 1/3 of hero's stack into the pot. If you're gonna put 1/3 of your stack in, then fold to a turn bet, why are you even playing? This looks like a clear shove or fold on the flop to me. If you're not planning to make a shove/fold decision after villain bets on the flop, then shove/fold pre-flop.

I just hate calling on the flop. It's the wussy way out; "I have a big overpair, so I can't fold, but he could have AA or KK, so I won't raise." AA, KK, JJ, and 1010 are all equally as likely. Pick a read and go with it. Call leaves you in no mans land.

In my opinion against this opponent in this situation with the players in these positions TT is not as likely as AA. And he may fold TT if you shove flop whereas he will never fold AA/KK/AcKc. In my opinion it's just the smart play.

True that call may leave you in a tougher spot than shoving but sometimes tough spots happen and making a bad (or less than optimal) play to avoid it isn't a good idea.
