You are positioned immediately after the pre-flop raiser. Thus the raiser will likely bet the flop, and you will have to make a decision on whether to call or fold before the rest of the field (any one of whom could stick in a big raise).

If you had limped, then the guy to your immediate left had raised, then 4 players had called, then you might call with such a hand, as now you have position "relative to the raiser". Thus, you could check the flop, expect the raiser to often bet, and then see what the field does before you decide on your move.

In the case you described above, you are squeezed between the raiser and the field.

If I'm in late position and the person to my right open raises I'm going to assume there isn't much of a "field" to consider.
