To me its about focus and decision making that separates reg from rec, but its just my opinion.
Yes, their advantage would definitely increase but by what margin and against how many recs?
Lets say average winrate for a reg on this site is 5bb/100 playing 20 tables and playing 100 hands/hour on each table to make the math easy. This reg is pulling 100bbs off the tables each hour. Now multiply this by the number of regs sitting at the same tables and imagine how many recs are losing stacks. They will eventually stop returning.
Same reg limited to say 6 tables somehow manages to double his average to 10bbs/hour. He is now pulling 60bbs/hour off the tables and is playing a higher percentage of recreational players. The recs will play longer because they have a fighting chance of winning something even if it is short term. It will keep them coming back more often if they don't get felted every time they sit down.
Just my opinion and don't know how close those numbers are on the soft tables. Just throwing an example out there.
