I am looking for a response from someone who has played a lot of similar buyin amounts on Party and Stars. It seems that the payout structure of Stars 3/9 vs Party's 3/10 should offer less variance since a player should finish ITM more often. I guess I was looking for some evidence that could confirm this fact. I imagine a person would need about 1000 of each SNG to make such a determination and even that might not be enough. But even if Stars offered slightly less variance, it might be better to play them for the working poker player since the lengthy downswings would be slightly less likely.
