I started playin at paradise poker about a week and a half ago. put in the min deposit and played 0.05/0.10 and then moved up to 0.10/0.20 as my bankroll increased. I've only played about 8-10k hands there so its hard to get a good read yet, but im taking huge swings. Still way up overall but I'll often find myself taking 50-80BB dips for short periods of time. I know most of this has to be due to my play needing work, but do high amounts of callers account for a much larger variance? Thanks all.

generally the higher variance is reserved for high aggression and shorthanded games

.05/.1 through .50/1 should be pretty stable

Makes sense to me. I think its 90% due to my play. When I get up in a session, I have a tendency to loosen up like crazy and think im invincible instead of maintaining the tightness that got me there in the first place. After a fairly large swing i then seem to tighten up and get it back together and start winning again. I kinda figured it was my play, thanks.

Higher amounts of people seeing the river on incorrect odds is always going to be higher variance, but it'll always be more profitable. People that lower their VP$IP to the more profitable hands are costing themselves money.
