Very moronic and bad rule.

Imagine the following...

I bet $100. A player goes all-in for $102 and someone calls. Now I can reraise any amount I wish, essentially raising my own original bet.

I make a hefty preflop raise and get five callers. The flop comes down and SB bets a small amount, the next guy raises it 2, the next two more, the next two more, betting closed. I can't raise again, they killed all the raises and prevented me from betting at all.

I could make up a dozen more scenarios like these, but I think you get my drift.
