High BB/100 Standard Deviation

[level]

I was looking through PT, and saw that my BB/100 Standard deviation was very high. About 21 dollars for every 100 hands for 25NL. Is this a big leak? What does it mean? What sort of leaks does this indicate in my game?

How many hands total played?

40 thousand.

just means your playing a high variance game i guess. Try to pot control more and not create huge pots with marginal hands such as top pair, medium kicker.

Personally I've found 25NL to be more volatile in general than 10NL anyway. My standard deviation at 25NL is $30.79 per 100 hands, or 61.6 BB. My standard deviation at 10NL is $10.39 per 100, or 52 BB. Unfortunately my 25NL sample size is small compared to my 10NL sample size, but standard deviation does converge quickly.

Oh, this is 6-max, by the way.

I'd echo the above advice, try to exercise pot control more often and get away from easily dominated hands when you come against resistance.
