Hero obviously could fold here, but I like the raise. Villain bet $2 into a $7-ish pot, that reeks of weakness to me. As others have mentioned, if you are going to raise, you have to raise enough so that villain would actually consider folding. Obviously if raise is called, heor will have to shut down unless he improves (barring an amazing read). A standard raise makes villain either fold or make a big error if he calls.
