Default Re: Why do SNG\'s have less variance?

That's what I was thinking. The first post was a good read, but it doesn't give a comparative look. Does anyone have any comparative info to help explain why this statement can/should be considered true?

El Diablo started a post in High Stakes NL/PL a week or so ago entitled "Variance" that was mostly full of crap, but a few players posted their standard deviations and profits over a few hands. Profit/standard deviation was like 50x higher in NL cash games than in SnGs.

There are so many offtopic trashtalk posts in that thread that it makes even a skipperbob post look on topic! [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
Is it always like that over there?
