Variance in different forms of poker

to answer your question about what has more/less variance, it has to do mainly with the number of cards being delt

Then a game like O8 would have ridiculous variance, when in fact it actually has far less than hold em. You only need 1/2 the bankroll for the same stakes (according to the man who posted above me).
