so you just described a WA/WB situation. If he has TP, JJ, or KQ you have him down to 6 outs or less. and you have position so you can manipulate pot size later in the hand (ie if you determine he has a weak hand you can squeeze value out of him). There is really only one hand that this raise is good for, and that is AK. If he'll overplay AK then you've got him trapped, but he still has 6 outs. But if he has you dominated (AQ, QQ, TT, KJ, AA) then you are totally screwed. So when you raise the flop you are only likely to hear back from all of the hands crushing you, and maybe AK. So more money is going in only if you are behind.
I really think you should just call the flop. Preserve your implied odds and try to fill up on the turn or river, and if not get to a SD for $15-20 if you can. Raising the flop will likely blast out the hands that are behind you, but is always going to get you repopped by the hands that have you crushed.
