It's hard to say if call was right without knowing the pot size and what he pushed for, but it probably was correct.

The reason I don't always give credit to those flop raises is because most players, usually when they have position on you, will wait for the turn to make that raise if they have a big hand. I usually do to. When you flop a big hand and someone bets into you, a lot of times by just smooth calling, you'll have a better idea of what the board looks like on the turn, and you can let them dig themselves deeper into their own grave before you raise them. Now they have a tough choice of calling with a hand like top pair since they've committed some more money to the pot.

Depending on what the board looks like and how big your hand is, this won't always be the correct play. But I think of that before I give my opponent credit for a monster when he raises me on the flop.
