    Default 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)

    SB: $357.30
    BB: $91.90
    UTG: $186.15
    CO: $33.40
    Hero (BTN): $105.65

    Pre-Flop: 9 8 dealt to Hero (BTN)
    UTG raises to $3, CO folds, Hero calls $3, 2 folds

    Flop: ($7.50) 6 7 A (2 Players)
    UTG bets $5, Hero raises to ?

    2. Villain is fish (55/3). Donk lead is weak made hand or massive strength.

    Turn: ($16) 4 (2 Players)

    1) $18, reraise or call any shove until the money is in
    2) Raise flop bigger, $7. As played I like $24
    3) this is a shitty spot because of the pf action. if you've seen him do this before, i move it all in. if this is the first time, I probably just call and evaluate turn. If it weren't for the PF limp/call I would raise to like $40
