Least Volatile Game

[RiverMise]

What would you say the least volatile internet poker game is?

Is it short handed? Full? What limit?

I am also assuming that the more tables you play at once... the less volatile.

Definitely, not short handed. So a full table with loose-passive players.

Actually, the more table you play the more volatile it it...however you converge to your EV faster.

While shorthanded does have more swings than full, 6max games only have slightly higher variance than full games (my Party 1/2 6max stats are 16BB/100 standard deviation)

Multitabling does decrease your variance in terms of SD in return per actual hour, but not per table hour.

low-limit NL ring has very little variance because you can just sit back and wait for your hands, and still get paid off

In these games you'll create big pots by playing premium starting hands and large draws aggressively, so I would expect some healthy swings. A game of tight readable players will have smaller swings IMO.
