    its under a minimum raise so you can't re-raise it on sky

    His all-in doesn't count as a raise because it's for less chips than a minimum raise, under poker rules it only counts as a call, so you get no option to re-raise, all you're allowed to do is match his bet.

    It's well worth bearing this in mind when bet-sizing with a short stack at the table.

    This is a standard rule and should apply across all sites and in live games.

    Yep, sometimes there's enough room for you to open a bit smaller than normal so that if the shortie goes all-in it will be big enough chips to count as a raise, then you can re-shove over the top and isolate, the other alternative is to open limp.

    It's against the rules.

    Any site / establishment which allows you to re-raise to isolate the shortie's under-raise is breaking the rules of Texas no-limit hold-em.
