Re: What are the standard raise/re-raise/ bet amounts?
Regardless of whether you're playing cash games or not, my post addresses Zasterguava's question about a standard re-raise pre-flop. It's just some information that I thought was relevant and useful, feel free to disregard it if it doesn't apply to your style of play.
I like Lego's comment on continuation betting amounts on the flop - 70-100% of the pot. That depends on the texture of the flop, whether you have a draw (or have made a hand), the number of opponents, their playing style, etc. But I think 70-100% of the pot is pretty standard for a continuation bet.
Once the turn comes, I don't really know if you can make a "standard" bet - it all depends on the information you have garnered from your opposition up to that point, whether you are trying to protect your hand, the remaining number of opponents, etc. If you feel that they are on a draw, and the turn was a brick, I would fire a second shell anywhere from 60-90% of the pot; either one gives them insufficient odds to continue chasing flush/straight draws.
If the river was another blank, and you feel like you have the best hand, you have to put yourself in their shoes and imagine what amount you would call if you were being bet into. If you feel that they will fold to anything above a minimum bet, then fire off the min. Really, you want to maximize your profit, so get as much money out of them as possible. That's super vague, but without a specific example, that's all I can conjure up at this point.
Hope that helped.
