Re: A couple of questions
1. Just for example, 5 other players have already called the bet before you. Its a loose game and you know if you raise they will probably all call. You are growing the pot and improving your pot odds at the same time. Another good reason to raise with a flush draw, in late position, is that you can get a 'free card' on the more expensive betting round if everyone checks to you.
2. If someone raises you need to think about what they have, based on their previous actions, what the pot size is, whether a re-raise might be coming, and so on. There isn't really a simple formula.
