Seems that a call on the flop gets me more $ and the only hands I'm knocking out are the ones that I would like to stay in. Flush draws are going no where obviously.

You played it perfectly.

You make money when the flush draws call you, they or someone with top-pair/2pair may even 3-bet you so you can cap.

I know I make $ when the flushdraws call me. And I also know that they are going to call me everytime. My concern was that I knocked out 3 of 4 opponents when holding a monster. The more I think about it though the more I realize that this is an auto raise because normally I get more $ into the pot by raising. Just in this case they all happened to fold but usually I'll pick up some calls.

raising is the right move. people will be calling 2 bets if they caught a piece of the flop, and those that missed will not contribute a single bet. nor do you want them to. Gouge those still in the pot and let the dead money wait for you to drag it in.

I'd call the flop for exactly the reasons you stated. Whether or not is correct, I'm not sure.
