Final Pot: $38

This is a pretty clear-cut hand. I raise preflop and hit TPTK with Queens. I reraise bet from SB. Turn comes a heart and this is an obvious check/fold when I got 1 caller behind me on the obvious flush draw.

What I'm wondering about is if my post-flop raise was too small. Should I have raised more?

Look at it this way. Sb has to call $6 in a $32 pot that is pretty good odds. A more standard raise would be $16. That is 3 times his bet + what is already in the pot times your average size of cb, in my case 4/5 pot.

Thanks for the response Lucky Jim. I'm sorry to say I don't fully understand what you mean.

"That is 3 times his bet + what is already in the pot times your average size of cb"

I get the 3 times his bet, so $12. What do you mean by what is in the pot times my average size of cb? Average cb = average Continuation Bet size? The pot was at that point $6 from pfr + $4 from his bet.
