But one could also counter that winrate decreases (in $/100) because the player is playing fewer hands (assuming it isn't due to increased losses from not knowing how to play more tables, lol).  Looser play == more variance, tighter play == less variance.  Therefore variance is somewhat mitigated by the tighter play inherent in multi-tabling.

And at some point of course $/hr increases, sometimes substantially, assuming the player continues to actually win, even if it's at a much lower BB/100 rate.  Dropping from 4BB/100 single-tabling to 1BB/100 8-tabling is still a double increase in your hourly rate.

Agreed.  There are all sorts of variables, and variance is such a nebulous concept anyway, I don't know if we'll ever have a truly empirical answer.

However if we take the middle ground and say that both are roughly equal in variance, it cannot be denied that higher volume gets you to the long-term quicker.  Multi-tabling is by far the easiest way to achieve volume.  Thus the negative effects of variance (which is what we pay the most attention to, because obv when we win it's because of our mad skillz) are diminished quicker, and we realize that much sooner that our AA actually does hold up ~80% of the time.  ;)
