Straight $2 Betting Structure in Hold\'em/Omaha
 
This is xposted in the omaha forums, sorta, but I figure it'll get a little more attention here.

Thanks to Florida law, casino poker here is limited to max $2 bets, leaving the only limit casinos are willing to run: $1/2. To make a "higher-stakes" game that still followed the law, they set the game to a straight 2 structure, ie. 2/2. Preflop, 2 to call, 3 raises capped at $8. flop, same. turn, same. river, same.

As I see it, it's like $2/4 game with shitty implied odds or an expensive preflop $1/2 game.
Anyone have any experience with this? How badly do the expensive preflop and flop calls hurt a good player? even when there are no raises, it is as if there is one raise to you in a standard game, and there is no gathering information/taking off another card on the flop for cheap.

If hold'em hands run far apart in value, is it perhaps better that you can raise to $8 before the flop with KK or AA? Are you getting more value out of these hands?
