That sucks. Poker should never be clumped together with other carnival games. Its just a completely different animal, requiring strategy & manipulation to play the players, instead of playing odds. 
It actually used to work that way here, where tips were pooled from every game of every limit (except Bingo lol) but an uprising started & poker was separated from the pooling, resulting in good poker dealers making much more money & bad ones were weeded out. The carnie dealers kept their pool, loosing about $3 per hour from the poker contribution.
But that rake! I've never seen more than $5max/per hand at casino (actually $7 including extra bucks pulled for high hand & bad beat jackpots), or time starting at $5 per half hour for games starting with min $500 buyins.....
Homegames however charge the likes of a $25 chip per hand, providing the livest illegal action around. Thats the kind of thing I would promote there, hell I'm happy with a $10 max rake... hmm...
I wonder how far the drive is from Boston....
