maybe i'm wrong, but this seems like a really bad comparison. Just because a tournament is 7 or 8x more expensive, does not mean it has 7 or 8x the variance. The variance is the same (measure in terms of buyins, not dollars).

well yeah. but i'm talking in sheer dollar amounts, b/c thats usually the most useful way to look at it since your BR isn't infinite.

He was saying, i thought, that $250 sats would decrease variance compared to $250 MTTs. This is untrue.

Say your BR is 100k. if you played only $250 sats into bigger events, your risk of ruin would be WAY higher than if you played only $250 MTTs with their 100k BR.
