Default Re: how much is the standard amount to raise post flop?

In no-limit, assume that a pot-sized raise is "standard" post-flop, but adjust your "standard" raise to something else (usually a little smaller, but sometimes bigger) based on the situation.

Calculating a pot-sized raise (psr) is a little tricky if you've never done it because the idea is to raise an amount that will give an opponent exactly 2:1 pot odds to call the raise. So, if the pot is $20 and your opponent bets $15, then a psr is a raise to $65. That way, the original $15 bettor has to call $50 more to have a chance to win a pot of $100 (2:1 pot odds).
