4/8 LO8 with a half kill. This is a kill pot, we're using only $2 dollar chips, so this hand is 3 chip / 6 chip. On the turn somebody bets all in for 2 chips, one caller to me, and I say "raise" with the nut low. How many chips do I put in?

Max raise is always 6 more chips than the previous bet. So, in this case, $16 total ($12 raise about the $4 all-in) or eight $2 chips.

Now, if there's a special house rule about picking up the completion bet and then raising, you can raise to a higher total.

NO.

This game is $6/$12

on the turn first bettor makes it $4 all-in

This is less than 1/2 of the full bet of $12. The following player may complete the bet to $12. The first action is not a bet so you can not raise it, only complete it. The only options here are call $4, complete to $12, or fold)

If he had been all-in for $6, the player following him would have the options to call $6, raise to $18, or fold (note that he would not have the option to complete to $12)
