Default Re: HU SNGs

variance is easy to quantify for HU matches as each match is a binomial(1,p) random variable. Its a known fact that you only need like 200-250 HU matches to have a VERY good estimate of your win rate. For HU SNGs you need like >1000 matches. This should answer your question about variance. If we need 4-8x more games to know about win rates in SNGs then they must have much higher variance.
