Raising with any hand here does the same thing. Overcards don't accomplish this better than a small pair.
I disagree. Great thread though...

You are not accomplishing the same thing.Sure, when you raise with either 55 or KQ against either an overpair or AK, you are putting villain to a decision which may lead to a mistake, but raising here with KQ leads to more mistakes. For example: villain only calls with JJ. Outs baby!
