A Variance Wager

[BarronVangorToth]

Imagine this proposition was set forth.

The talk is about variance and here is the wager (this is sort of a discussion on FCP's forums but it's invariably better suited here as I'm there infrequently):

Player A plays at the Party Poker $0.50-$1.00 game for X time and then plays at the Party Poker $10-$20 game for X time.

Where would the variance in terms of BB be highest?

You can pick either side. Where do you bet? Why? Does the amount of "X" matter? When doesn't it? What range? Why?

People always talk about the everyone-seeing-the-flop aspect of the micro-limits increasing variance, but does the truly horrendous play make up for it? Or doesn't it?

Where would you put your money? What would X have to be to sway it?
