Re: Pure Heads Up Poker-The Sweet Science
Must be the way I play HU then because I always have massive variance compared to 10 man SNGs

Re: Pure Heads Up Poker-The Sweet Science
must be a small sample size then, because this simply could not be the case

The standard deviation for an HU SNG is going to be on the order of 1 buyin - if you're winning 50% and losing 50% for 2 and 0 buyins, that's an average of 1 buyin, and then you have 2 possible scenarios, both of which involve a distance of 1 from the average. The standard deviation for a conventionally structured SNG is widely accepted to be somewhere between 1.5-2.0 buyins. So the standard deviation is lower for the HU game, suggesting your performance will be closer to average and thus less variable.
