Variantastic winrate - does it exist? Variantastic winrate - does it exist?

Ok... I read a solid fixed limit player can win 1,5bb/100 by approx 16bb/100 standard deviation.

Can anyone tell how above correlates to NLHE. Is it correct to assume the added variance is linear by profit potential correlation ie. theoretically a likewise solid player with a stdev of 60bb/100 should pull 5,6bb/100 profits and a player with stdev of 81bb/100 would then potentially profit 7,5bb/100.

Certainly not, there's no reason why there should be a rule like that. Variance is 6max NLH is anything between 70-120bbs for normal games and probably higher for some deep or deep ante tables.

What's considered to be a solid winrate depends highly on the stakes. Probably ~8bbs at microstakes and anywhere between 4-6 higher. Anything above 6 is good at small stakes and excellent at midstakes.

These numbers are somewhat arbitrary but I think they are close to consensus. If you do the math it means that variance/winrate is higher at NLHE, meaning that breakeven stretches are typically longer and bankroll growth is slower. Then again, from what I know it's rare for midstakes LHE player to play more than 4 6max tables, while it's still pretty common on small stakes and maybe even midstakes NLHE.

Variance is lower in NLHE than in LHE.
