Re: NL vs. Limit variance
[ QUOTE ]
Most of the posts are based on people's experience. Winrates for good NL players can be 5 times that of good limit players when expressed in BB/100, whereas the variance expressed in the same units tend to be about 3 times higher in NL compared to limit. So, for a NL player to get a comparable winrate in dollars as a limit player, he will play where the BB (big bet, which, in Poker Tracker terms, is twice the no-limit big blind) is 1/5 that of the limit player's BB. At this level, the NL player's variance in absolute dollars will be about 60% that of the limit player's variance. Your individual results may vary depending on your winrate (which varies a lot from player to player) and variance (which tend to run around the same values for all players).

So a 1/2 NL would be comparable to a 10/20 Limit with a little over half the vairance of limit?
Nutpeddling is low variance BTW.
