Player A plays at the Party Poker $0.50-$1.00 game for X time and then plays at the Party Poker $10-$20 game for X time.

Where would the variance in terms of BB be highest?

Variance may be associated with loose games, but microlimit games are also very passive. People will limp in, then just call on each street with AA. The result is that the average standard deviation reported in the microlimits forum is lower than the average standard deviation in BB/100 reported in the small stakes forum.

People also play much more slowly in $0.50-$1, so the standard deviation in BB/hour is significantly lower.
