Re: how much is the standard amount to raise post flop?
If you are just raising a cbet on the flop, 3xs would be pretty standard, but it depends so much on pot size and what you are trying to accomplish with your raise.
If the pot is $20 and someone bets $1, a 4x raise is nothing.
If you are raising with a big draw or on a bluff and want the fold equity, you can shove for more than a pot-sized raise.
If you are raising to protect your hand and charge draws, pot-sized raise is standard because it doesn't give someone the right price to call.
If you are raising for value, a pot-size raise can be too large and scare people off. People often min-raise sets/nuts because they want someone to call.
So it depends on pot size, stack sizes, the size of the bet to you, and the purpose of the raise.
