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

So do you still think you agree with omg? He's been saying the units don't matter, and that comparing a $100 100BB stack vs a $100 10 BB stack is the same as comparing a $100 100BB stack vs a $10 10BB stack. He even accused me of making simple algebra errors when I modified his equations to take into account the fact that the units were different.

These two situations are obviously very different, and the equations he used to "prove" that a 10BB stack is always less variance than a 100BB stack completely ignored the fact that the value of BB was different in the case we were talking about, and wouldn't even acknowledge that the actual value of the BB did matter when trying to compare two bb/hand values.

And what's your answer to Mr. Aggressive Bankroll Play question about which way to play to minimize his chances of going broke? Presumably you agree that choice A is going to be lower variance?
