Default Re: Variance revisited HUCASH vs HUTRN

Simple math problem here.

Player a has $100, and puts it all-in every hand, with a 60% chance to win.

Player b has $100, and puts it all-in every hand, with a 60% chance to win.

Who's variance is higher?

Please recognize that you've already claimed that in certain situations, player b can have a higher variance than player a.

*Please* tell me this is sarcasm. We're beyond the point where I can actually tell.

Or do you honestly believe that in two identical situations (where you think you know what I'm getting at, but obviously don't), the variance can be different?

Well since everyone agrees it's done, I'm going to lock it so it doesn't go any bad places.
