bigger edge doesnt ALWAYS mean lower variance

Exactly. Variance by its very nature could be the highest when you have a large edge.

Please explain.

LOL? Let's say a great TAG has a winrate of 7PTBB/100 in a nice loose juicy game. By incorporating light 4-betting into his game, he can increase his profit a little, say to 7.5PTBB/100, but his variance will go through the roof.

Essentially adding marginally +EV high-variance plays into your game will increase variance.
