An all-in bet t4 here would not consitute a raise since it is less than 50% of a the legal bet. The UTG player should not have been given the opportunity to raise. (and a valid raise would not have been to $6 anyway)

Agree that less than a full raise for all-in does not re-open betting for anybody who had called the full bet before the all-in. If the bet truly was 7 and UTG had only called 3 so far, then UTG could raise.
Hoowever, psandman's requirements for what re-opens betting and what the next bet would be does not hold true for all rooms. In ours, even if it's all-in for 2/3 of the bet it doesn't re-open. If betting is still live, the next person can only complete up to the next full bet, not raise a full bet on top of the all-in. These requirements vary by room, so you should clarify with the floor.

This was a limit game. Half or more of a raise constitutes a full bet and thus re-opens the betting to players that have acted. Only is this rule used in most no limit games ( should be all) but several rooms are using limit rules for no limit games. Less than half of a full raise gives the next player the option to call or complete the bet only.
