After finally playing over 150,000 hands between 1/2 to 5/10 my brain has come to accept the facts of how variance affects the game. I decided to do a little math and write an article on it. I found that it only takes a little variance to alter the balance of winning. I hope you enjoy the article. I put it up last night and I am at work right now. I reread it myself and found a few errors so don't burn me for it. I will edit it when I get home. But I hope the idea behind it can help some become better players.
