Imagine if your solution (impossible as it may seem) could be implemented for everyone, it would basically kill off all the fish from poker sites in a very short amount of time and all the regs will kill each other with rake.
95% of fish return as a result of variance or possibly even higher percentage. Also lets not forget those iffy BE players who go on massive tilting sprees because of a bad few days. Check some sharkscope graphs and you ll see them stay on same level for 1000+ games and then lose thousands within few hundred games by going 100+ stakes.
It doesn't take away the all in variance from other players but just from those who pay for the service. So for example fish sucks out, he's happy, and you are happy as well because you still get paid your equity in a hand.
I understand how the service works but do you not think that in the long run this is a terrible thing for poker in general, especially if it got popular. It can only lead to less fish and tighter reg battles.
