How to insert extra data into the post table apon post creation?

[K33]

Hi
I have a field in the 'post' table lets say called NewField. Now I need to insert some data into that field every time someone makes a new post/thread based on several usergroup checks I do. I am trying to figure out where in what hook and how I am supposed to do it?
Thanks in advance!
