PLO, played correctly has an absolutely huge variance simply because the edges are so tiny in the vast majority of large pots. I don't see how it's possible to argue that NLHE's variace is larger, as PLO presents many more drawing possibilities than NLHE, and when big money goes in one hand is less likely to be largely favoured over the other.

LHE has more variance than NLHE, simply because in NLHE you can price out draws, whereas in most cases you can't in LHE. This is a little subjective though - obviously 1/2 Limit has less variance than 1/2 NL, but this is only because the average pots in 1/2 NL will of course be much higher. Comparing a $200NL game with a limit game where it would be more feasible for people to buy in for $200 (5/10 Limit I guess?) would be more reasonable.

I'd actually put NLHE towards the bottom of the variance tree.

I place 7Stud way up solely based on my experience playing it as part of HORSE. It's a sick game.

I agree with Stud8 and 5Stud being close to the bottom. Will have to think about Pineapple (I have played it a bit on UB, but not enough to be able to form a snap judgment).

(Nice thread by the way - glad you bumped it 'cos I obv missed it first time around)
