In my area, there are dozens of casino/ cardrooms and I don't think a single one drops more $3, and many of them have a $2 rake.

Where exactly would this be?

Seattle. I have mainly been playing online now, but the main live games I would play (up until a couple months ago) were the $20/40 at Muckleshoot (an Indian casino ~45 minutes south of seattle) which had a $3 rake, the $15/30 at Tulalip (an Indian casino ~45 minutes north of seattle) which had a $2 rake and I used to play the $10/20 at the Hideaway (a non-Indian cardroom about 15 minutes north of seattle) which had a $2 rake. Admittedly, two of the three of those also have a $1 jackpot drop, so you might want to add $1 to two of those, but I have equity in that so I don't view it as a full dollar being dropped.

I haven't played at most of them, but there are lots of little cardrooms in Washington. Even the bowling alley near my house has a back room that always has $3/6 games going.
