Yeah I know, that is what I was saying to HC. Obviously the elite players aren't going to just start breaking even, but if you chop a small amount of their edge off, it keeps the fish in the game longer and allows for further rollover. I have no clue if this happens on smaller sites (although for Pstars I have a pretty good idea it doesn't, 1 of my friends was 1 of the better midstakes cash game grinders on the site until its demise and he said it was much ado about nothing) But smaller sites are much more wild, wild west obviously.
And I'm saying I think that even that is too complicated. What specifically would you do to "chop a small amount of edge off" without making it so drastic that elite players lose? It would be such a fine science, especially because each table would likely contain several fish and several good players.
Just because you're saying the edge would only be slight doesn't make the algorithm any simpler. In fact it probably makes it more complicated.
