By calling raises with weak hands, it seems that you have to hope that a few things will fall perfect (assuming you're playing the hand for value), which together aren't very likely. First, your opponent just has unpaired big cards, and second, his hand doesn't improve, and third, yours does. Why even get involved in a situation like this when you can just fold?

It's pretty simple-minded to think you can just "take it down" whenever you flop anything.
