Pfah:

Everbody folds to your raise: 0bb
Two folds and the original bettor calls: 1bb
One call, two folds: 2bb
One call, one fold, one call: 3bb
Two calls, one fold: 4bb
Three calls: 5bb

vs.

One overcall: 1bb
Two overcalls: 2bb

In half the scenarios after you raise you're doing better than you can possibly do by calling, and one more you're tying, and the last 4 possibilities taken together are easily more likely than the first two.
