I was under the impression that plo8 variance was higher but so are the winrates.

If winrates are higher, the variance has to be lower.

This is very wrong. shoving draws increases variance, but can be used very profitably

Uh, you know we're talking about HUSNGS, right? Not cash games?

Your overall winrate is the only thing that has any impact on variance.

Shoving draws can certainly change your winrate (probably lowering it against many types of opponents, and therefore increasing variance), but if your winrate is higher, then your overall variance *has* to be lower.
