u are 100% right
 

I know for a fact that its a myth that SD is bigger at 10/20 6max then at 5/106max at Party Poker.

I have nearly excatly the same (0.2/100 lower at 10/20)

10/20 is more lagish so it feels swingier and its more $. Thats all there is to it.

Well, okay, 10/20 is 100h/hour and 5/10 is 90h/hour, but that is not a lot. I play 400 hands/hour when I 4table, not many playing so many hands at full table? Or are u guys 6- 0r 8-tabling?

the party 5-10 6max game is not very aggressive so swings are not that great.

the 10-20 6max is more aggressive so swings are worse.

I find the 5-10 6max games totally unbearable lately, I've had about 10 losing sessions in a row. I've played roughly 20,000 hands or so without making any money.

this is because your SD/1,000,000 hands will be much smaller than your SD/100 hands. in Lost's original post he was stipulating 100 hand sessions, merely because SD/100 is the commonly collected stat.

The OP said that variance is greater because you see more hands implying that your SD increases with your amount of hands. He went on to say that your SD/100 is less than your SD/200.
