I agree with this in principal, but there is no need to go crazy either. Make it like 3.50$ and we have a roughly pot sized reraise that will still be called by weaker hands. Going 5$+ would pick up the pot preflop against weaker hands and make stronger hands push or call. Also, we're going to have a hard time getting away from this hand either pre-or postflop with half our stack already in.

Poker is about information and that 2 dollar raise does not give
enough information in this case.
Poker is about winning money. What good is your information if you're buying it at too high a price? The cost of your information in this case is not the difference of the bet sizes, but the difference of the amount you win when you're up against worse hands and the amount you lose when you're up against better hands.
