Just came across this tidbit in another thread, from one of the authors of Professional No Limit Hold'em.

Quote:
For example, say you have $100. If you play the $100 as a 50bb stack in a $1-$2 game, your variance will be higher than if you play the $100 as a 200bb stack in a $.25-$.50 game. However, playing a $100 stack in a $1-$2 game will still be lower variance than playing a larger stack in a $1-$2 game.

[/ QUOTE ]so small stack poker has inherently less variance than big stack poker.
