Re: Re-examination of lower variance games
NL seems to have a lower variance for the same win rate among winning players. For a fixed blind size, NL has greater variance, but a decent player wins many more BB/hour at NL.
If you need to work your way up from a small bankroll, it is usually faster or safer to do it with NL. You can afford to play in games with higher earn rates, or you can choose to have a much reduced chance of losing. This depends on the individual player. Some players win at one and not the other.
