Re: Future of sng\'s online?
umm...variance has to be huge. In a 9 man sng, you have 4 posibilities. You can finish down one buy-in, up .65 buy-ins, up 1.475 buy-ins or up 3.125 buy-ins. If your long term result is to be +.1 buy-ins per game (a 10% roi) it should be clear why any given set of games has a very low chance of converging to the long term results, this is why there is so much more variance in SNGs. If you have a high enough ROI, it might not feel like there is variance because even when you preform below expectation you are winning, but given that there are only 4 possible outcomes it should always take a long time to converge to any long term ROI.
