just want to comment on one post,

Different styles of play definitely have different concomitant variance. To conclude otherwise is to fly in the face of both the facts and common sense. Someone who plays 40% of his hands in a 6-max game is going to have more variance than someone who plays 25% of his hands since the variance from folding a hand is zero. By the same token, someone who puts more bets in on average after the flop is going to have more variance than someone who tends to play fit-or-fold (though sometimes players who play passively can have fairly high variance since they tend to put a lot of bets in, just not all at once).

your opponents aggression is a much larger determinent of your stdv/100 than how you personally play, in my opinion.
in my experience playing between lowly 1/2 limit and 30/60, i play no more aggressively now (in fact i likely play more passive) - and yet my standard deviation has jumped considerably.
