Correct Indiana , I forgot to square the mean term .

All of this boils down to how much you buy in for in relation to the blinds . If you're playing a 0.5-1 game but you buy in for $1000 against another player who has you covered , then clearly you'll experience more variance in this game than if you had bought in for $100 .

I fully believe that if you buy-in for at most 75 times the amount of the BB , then you'll experience more variance in a stt sng .
