Depends on the size of the field.

Top 3? Is that like A-K-Q? Pineapple tourneys? I usually get rid of the Queen if that's what you are asking....

I think field size is more important than buy in for determining variation.

If the field is 30-70 players, then an average player will make the final table 15-30% of the time. The money is still only in the top 3 spots but its more like 10-20X buy-ins for 1st rather than 100-200X.

I think most good players can lower their variation by playing smaller fields for larger buyins.
