    you should have just pushed flop, which is less of an overbet if you raise more preflop

    With the BB I raised to $60 total, which is exactly 4x the orignal raise.
    What is the standard bet size in this situation?

    yea that is 4x the original raise..but the hand plays so much easier if you raise enough that you can just go allin on the flop.
