It's possible that you will get the made hands to fold

i don't think this is accurate based on the betting...i think sets or 2 pair are going along for the ride

By made hand, I don't mean just a set or 2-pair. Each hand has some made strength and some drawing strength. You are behind weak made hands like AK and T7, and you could easily get these to fold with a raise. In fact, after the preflop raiser just calls, I expect him to have overcards which could easily include an ace.

It's great if you can get a hand like 55 to fold, leaving you up against a lower flush draw who probably won't try to bluff you off on the river if he misses, but will stack off if the flush hits.
