Obviously it depends on the hand, but are you trying to make him fold or are you sitting with the nuts?

I believe either way you're trying to make him fold (you're bluffing) or you have the nuts you should play it the same way I believe of course it depends on the villains profile is he a loose player calling station is he tigh player lot of things to consider in this situation but for me the amount will be like x2.5 time his bet when I know he's kind of tight player and he always make his Cbet but the flop comes like 7-2-3 Rainbow it really is not many time on his range so it will be a good time to make a bluff and of course when you have the nut you just want him calling with over pairs if you have a set or straight hope this helps you GL!

It depends on how that person has been playing, but I would say 3X or 4X . Have a good night :five:

As always it depends on a lot of factors but generally if I want someone to fold in such a situation I tend to make it like a 40%-80% pot bet.
So that is in the xx% of pot + (100+2xx)% his raise where xx is the % of pot bet size I want to make. Or for a 50% pot sized bet it is 50% of the pot + 3x his raise.
So in your example and with a 50% pot bet => 0.5 x pot (10) + 2 x (size of his raise say 6) which makes it a raise to 17$ which leaves him to call an extra 11$ in a 33$ pot.

Your text has little information for me to give you an appropriate tip.
Generally a good raise will be 2.5x with position, and 3x out of position. which can vary more or less depending on the image of the villain, since it is common for these increases trying to steal, some villains tend to increase their bet and put you in a difficult situation.

You cannot raise him just because you think he doesn't have it.
If you want to bluff raise him, you want to force a fold so you need to represent a hand.
Lets say you are in the BB, BTN raises 2.5x, you call and flop comes A7Qr.
He bets and you raise. Does that look right? There aren't any big aces you wouldn't 3bet preflop and a 7 as well as a Q doesn't justify a raise here. However AK, AQ and AJ are in his range while you just said "I don't have premium aces" because you called.
So no matter what he has, he can just shove it and you cannot call.
If you think he doesn't have it, you need to float OR you need a hand with backup equity. Lets take the hand above and change it from rainbow to double suited and you have a OESD + a flush draw with KTs.
Now you could raise him because if he doesn't fold, you have a couple of outs to make a real hand.

Check raise bluff so you can see if he is just firing a bullet into the pot or if they are serious. You get position on them. Also check raise bluffs have more folding equity. The problem is they are expensive. I make sure to check raise bluff usually min. when the board is scary with no draws and 2.9x when it has draws. In MTT this shows they cannot later end stage just c-bet me off a big pot ratio to my stack when blinds are huge.

Honestly, this is just not good advice, I'm sorry.
X/R bluffing to see if he's just firing a bullet??? Dude, betting for information is already stupid, but raising for information is just lunatic.
If you really want to exploit overbluffing, you have to start check/calling your weak top pairs and your middle pairs on the flop and you have to catch some of his obvious bluffs like busted draws on the river.
A X/minraise does nothing, you have to raise at least half to 2/3 pot, so it's not just expensive, it's a bankroll killer. Also, do not think you can X/R bluff forever, sooner or later he starts reraising or shoving.
A X/R bluff is good if it makes sense like when you have a valid range for it that you are able to protect. Like if you usually only X/R sets or flopped nuts, you do not have that many bluffs so you need to use them wisely or you become really exploitable.

in most cases I have this 3x . But it all depends on what I want to do with it: force it to fold or call.

You don't necessarily want to re-raise him. If you have a hand with some showdown value you could simply call to keep the pot small. If the flop missed him entirely and it's just an empty c-bet, he might not be willing to try another bullet at the pot and you could get a cheap showdown or even get him to fold by betting on later streets.
