Default Variance difference in multitable tournaments 2vs10....

Hi all,
What I am asking is if variance goes up or down based on the number of tables in a multitable tournament?

for ex.... playing a 30max 3 table sit&go or 20max 2 table sit&go VS a large scheduled multitable tournament of lets say 300-800 entrants.

Which has a much lower variance in general a multitable sit&go of 20max 2 tables or large 1000max tournament?
note:I am refering to regualr tournaments longhanded, none of that turbo ultra turbo garbage.

Thank You

The answer is pretty intuitive...I think you'll get it.

In SNG's, when it gets down to the final 4 or so, it's pretty much a shove fest. Harrington's "first into the pot" comes into play here. When it gets shorthanded at the FT of a mtt, it's usually a little more disciplined. At least it's not a total shove-fest unless Annette_15 is at your table. But both scenarios are best played aggressively. Concerning the early stages of a mtt, it plays out very similarly to a sng.

Re-replying b/c Mack's post was not in any way relevant to your question.

Like I said, the answer is intuitive. Bigger field MTTs have more variance than smaller field MTTs or STTs.
