Re: Which Format is Best for Going Pro? (Online and B&M)
Isn't there a FAQ somewhere that has in it "Does limit poker really have bigger swings than NL?"
Why not? Could someone make one or add this question and an answer to an existing FAQ? You can include what I wrote below, although I can't see why you'ld want to.

Your standard deviation divided by your hourly win rate is going to be less in no limit most likely. But that's not what the word 'variance' means.

"Variance" actually means the square of the number you are talking about above, so you are close enough. It does not mean that people occasionally hit gutshot straights or that winning players run bad sometimes, which is the normal meaning of the word on this site.
