Variance in different formats!

Is it me or split pot games especially PL omaha hi/lo has less variance in comparision to NL holdem!
I have played both a lot at .50/1 and 1/2 for 2 years and i have come to a conclusion if you know how to play omaha hi/lo there is more chance of winning and more true equity!
I would like to discuss more on this.

Seems to be, you have found you're game. Good luck at the tables.

I don't play split pot games like PLO hi/lo, but im assuming as there are 2 ways to win each half of the main pot that the variance will be incredibly less. If you get sucked out on but still have the high win you break even/small profit (blinds antes) by getting half of the pot instead of loosing the full pot like in NLH

I would have to agree that omaha hi low seems less swingy when it comes to variance, solid hi low cash players rarely have days they get crushed.
