Help! Post flop raise sizing.
My post flop raise sizing sucks. Pre-flop I am now happy with as decisions are of course more straight forward but post flop I might know why I am raising but not know really best amount to raise to?
There are many types of raises and I would think that the amount/type of raise employed by more experienced players would vary dependent on opponent type, opponents hand range, stack sizes and whether hero has made hand/bluff/draw.
Any advice would be appreciated. Here are some examples from some recent sessions.
1. Villain only raises PF with premium holdings (20/4)
