Well the longest run of all is infinity.

Besides that your post is illogical because it all depends what a persons winrate is. If sombody sucks they can play a million hands and still be doen. Also the more you suck the higher your variance and if you take in to consider things like tilt you can have 200K hands and lose even though you are capiable of winning, you just tilted way too much.

If you won a lot of money in a short period of time...
And lost money over a long period of time...

which one is more likely to be the variance?

You must of been a math guy, because your English is terrible.

If you are a math guy, then check out the probablity forum where your question can be answered properly and you can see the math involved.
