This is because if I have a high hand before the flop, like AA or KK or AK then I have a high chance of winning. And by raising before the flop you basically increase the stakes and thereby how much you win.
But beware, you should know when you are beat. Because you can also loose a lot of money on such hands as well!
Do you of you do that as well?
