Default minimum reraises

Hello all,
I don't know how many of you play on Absolute Poker, but I have seen a problem with the minimum reraises on their site. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have always know the rule to be the minimum reraise is doubling the other players RAISE. Example-I bet $2 and the next player minimum raises me to $4 total. Shouldn't I be able to reraise the minimum to $6 total??? That the way it is on any other site I have played, and the rules we use in home games.
On Absolute if I bet $2 and get minimum raised to $4, I then have the option to minimum reraise to $8 total, doubling their whole bet. I don't think this is right, and I have emailed support a few times now to ask about this. Last time they emailed me back an explanation that was the same as the rules I know, and when I emailed them back to say that's the way I think it should be, they emailed back to correct themselves to make their rules right. I think something is wrong, and I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

Default min reraise on aboslute poker

Hi,

I've noticed that the min reraise does double the whole bet of the players raise. I would like to know why they do that. At other sited I've played, the min reraise increments the size of the big blind. Maybe someone has a logical answer to this question.

yeah, support seems to think thats correct, but everywhere else, you must double the amount of the previous raise, not the whole bet. At least someone has noticed this too.
