I am not guessing that the data in the article is useless -- that should be clear.

It is not clear. It is only clear that it MAY not apply to real money games, and that is something I have already pointed out myself, if you read my other posts in this thread.

Moreover, the data that Piz0wn0reD posted in the other thread seems to support the evidence of the article, more or less. His friends limit SH SD is the same as his full ring SD, and that is for a very aggressive player.

So far, no one has posted ANY data that supports the common wisdom that SH games have a higher SD than full ring games. I am not claiming, and never have claimed, that the case for limit SH games having smaller SD has been proved 100% yet.

But until you, or someone else, posts data to the contrary you should not be saying that it's obvious that they have higher variance just because its accepted wisdom.
