"Raise" does not take into account the money you already have in front of you, that is, it's "call and raise this much above what I have". In most poker software it is the absolute amount you are raising to - that is, if you are facing a bet of 2, the software will show the starting raise value as (4 + your current called amount + blind amount if any), and whatever you type will be accepted as the amount you wish to raise to. If you tried to bet less than the minimum it will complain about it. (NOT minraise)
