Default Re: A plea to omgwtfnoway (re the variance thread blowup)

Finally, if after all that, you're still not convinced that the unit of measurement "big blinds per hand" is not a constant measurement like "miles per hour" (since the length of a mile never changes, and the length of an hour never changes, this unit of measurement never changes, but big blinds per hand depends very directly on the value of the big blind)

then try this.

Variance doesn't have to be measure in BB per hand. You have all the information you would need in both cases to calculate variance in dollars per hand.

If you compute that, you shouldn't need any further convincing that a comparing a $100 100BB stack to a $10 10BB stack is *very* different from comparing a $100 100BB stack to a $100 10BB stack.

I may be stupid, but the numbers cannot lie.
