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.
