Which game has the most variance swings?? top 3

[infinity235]

PLO8 has the highest variance... because equity swings are so huge that the nuts on the flop can turn into a huge underdog on the turn...

Limit hold'em has got some pretty huge variance too, compared to long-term winrates of winning players.

so limit holdem has much less variance than PL Omaha Hi?


also is it worth it to study and master 7 card stud or should I just stick with limit holdem?

imho -- it's good to learn/master all games...

although -- long term -- i think the most consistant
money is to be made at NL holdem, but just because
that's where the general public comes to play.

good players tend to gravitate towards the obscure games.

least variance, imho, stud 8.

in order, games i've played:

stud 8 - FL
holdem - NL
O8 - PL
stud - FL
razz - FL
O8 - FL
holdem - FL
