Jedi is right on this one, its a question of the Gap Concept. You need a much better hand to call a raise with then you would need to raise yourself. The size of the gap will depend on the stack sizes, blinds, knowledge of the player, etc. In your game with smaller stacks and fast blinds, the gap may be very small. If you are likely to get heads up with the EP raiser, hands only slightly better then what you might expect him to have should be playable.
