Well, this specific example is kinda like that.

It has to do with how likely your hand is to win after the river. If your hand has, for instance, a 55% chance of being the best after the river, you should always bet, raise, re-raise, etc. For every dollar that goes into the pot, you get at least 55 cents.

Your hand doesn't even need to be the favorite to win for this to be correct. Let's say that your hand has a 30% chance to win, another hand has 40% to win, and three more hands have a 10% chance each to win. If you can bet and raise this pot with all of them in it, then for every dollar that goes in you've paid 20 cents, but you "own" 30 cents. So every bet you can get in the pot, you make 10 cents off of (if it's a dollar limit).

The flush is a good example, because in low limits, you so often get many opponents with you to the flop, and you therefore stand a great chance to get lots of money in with a hand that will win more than its share of the times.

I made two hand quizzes on this topic specifically (that of equity and putting your money in with the favorite):
