If that's often happening then this game isn't as good as you said. I wouldn't play in a tight game under these circumstances.
But something's not right. CA games impose extra blinds or other hacks to make sure there's some pot on the flop. In your example one player could limp, the SB could complete, the BB could check, and the dealer wouldn't have a single chip left in the pot to cover up the burn card.
Someone might take it down w/o showdown and owe two bucks.
I've seen NL games in CA something like $2-3 with $5 on the button (for pretty small buyins, like maybe $300 max, not like normal 2-5). I've seen stud games with a ridiculous $1 ante for a $2/4 game. Anything to build a pot.
Are you sure the structure is simple $1-2 with this rake? If so, the cardroom is apparently run by dolts. But the game is still probably worth playing if as you said in the OP. Raise to like $10, get two callers, stack off with AA against TPNK and a missed flush draw, now you have a reasonable pot.
