it doesn't matter if we're ahead right now when evaluating the raise. It only matters if we are ahead when the raise is called.
ya...it's sort of like taking the coin flip example, and saying before you toss it that you bet $1 on it landing heads, but they can choose to call the $1 after the coin has already landed heads or tails.

edit..hehe ok maybe thats not quite right...but the point is you don't want to give someone that chance to only call your bet when ur beat.
