Measure the luck in cards.

Each board card contains 20% of the luck in a hand.

In NL fewer hands go to the river because the pot odds just aren't there. They end after the flop instead. Therefore they are missing 40% of the luck of the board.

Less luck = less variance.

I don't know whether this is serious or not

I think it's a good way to explain to someone who doesn't really understand. it's not really "wrong" per se and it makes a lot of sense
