I'm sorry, I'll try to take things real slow for you one step at a time. The fact that one type of sit-and-go has 9 players, and another type of sit-and-go has 9 players does not make one type have any more or less inherant variance than the other. Therefore, my thesis that the sitandgos should yield a similar variance stands.

Now, if the payout structures are wildly different, that's a different story. But don't worry, we won't get into that till you can learn how to count, Cletus.

I'm sorry, I guess my post was pompus because it borders on the actual answer to your question. Here is something friendlier and what I think you were looking for:

"Yeah man, the variance is way more on the Turbos. I won like 6 out of 10 yesterday, and today I'm 0 for 8. This sucks man, shoot me now. I think there may be lower variance at the higher buyins though."

Jesus! You still don't get it! The two different formats the original poster was referring to were both 9 player SNGs! So your whole post was based on a false premise. Thanks for the math lesson though. When I want to find out the ratio of apples to oranges in barrel x I'll come to you to find out all about barrel y...thx.

P.S. It wasnt your tone per se. It was the tone coupled with the fact that you didnt know what you were talking about.
