Default Blackjack vs Low Limit- Limit Poker, which is best?

In Colorado, they have $5 max bet limit casinos. The majority of the poker games spread are $2-5 limit (one $2-$5 blind, max raise $5 capped at $30 per betting round) and $5-$5 (two $5 blinds, capped at $30 per round).

As you may imagine, these low limit "crap shoots" are basically 5-6 people seeing a flop and chasing middle or low pair, gutshots, and 2 outers to the river (at least one always calling any river bet).

Presently the casinos have upped their rake to $1 per $10 pot up to $5 per $50 pot (basically 10% up to $50).

With the high rake, along with a $2 bad beat bonus take and an average of $1 tip per pot... and the "no fold em call to the river suck-out players" is this game even beatable in the short or long term by competent proper poker play (if so, how big of an advantage would you need to have to overcome this)? Or, would it be better just to play basic strategy Blackjack (with very player friendly rules) with a house advantage of only .35% (as per wizard of odds)?

Thanks in advance! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
