Hey I was wondering if it is ok to re raise in position with top pair weak kicker when you know only a stronger hand will call you.

Say you have J10 and the flop comes

J, 8, 2.

Person under the gun bets you re-raise…. Is this a legitimate play? Knowing that only a better hand will call your re-raise?

I just got the Theory of Poker and I am learning a ton from the book. I am not sure if this is covered in it but I just wanted to pose this question now because I have been wondering about it.
