Why is raising the flop right/wrong?

[/ QUOTE ]
It's wrong because when an overcard to yours comes on the board and someone bets into the preflop raiser and there are no apparent flush or straight draws, they usually have paired the top card or better and you should usually throw your hand away.

[/ QUOTE ] How much of the time does villain have you beat in this situation (given fishy, somewhat aggressive), and is raising to find out worth it?

Approximately 83.4% of the time, and no. If you raise he puts you on two pair, an overpair or a set and then on the later streets, he calls you down if you bet or bets if you check.
