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

[ QUOTE ]
jay_shark, so you would recommend to somebody that playing $100 at 0.5/1 NL is *higher* variance than buying in for $100 at $5/$10?

Can you please justify your answer?

To make things easier , it is recommended that you reduce the former game to having $10 at 0.5/1 . This is true if we assume that the win rates do not change .

Now we have $100 at 0.5/1 and $10 at 0.5/1 . The following is true :

1)You will experience more variance /$ playing with a stack of $100 .

2)You will experience more variance /BB playing with a stack of $10 .

Do you agree with these statements ?
