Hi, the biggest stakes in those 2 games (in PokerStars) are $100/$200. To what stakes of NLHE could that be compared? I mean, does it play higher than $10/$20 No limit?

off top of my head that sounds comparable but i wouldn't say i have any clue what i'm talking about when comparing different games, or that i know what a normal standard deviation is for any of them despite me having played an infinite number of hands of s8/2-7 lol
i would just think that a normal s8 or 2-7 session for me would easily involve going through 20 or 30 bets (either which way), and that's kinda the equivalent of like 2-3 buy ins at 100bb's right? which seems pretty normal for an NL session in my very sparse/scant experience in that game.

Very bad loss in those games should be about 10k (more likely in 2-7 since it is a one winner game).

2-7 plays a lot bigger than stud/8. Yes, it plays bigger than 10/20 NL

I'd say most 100/200 games play closer to somewhere between a 15/30 or 20/40 NL game in size. Or maybe a 3 blind game. It can depend on how deep the NL game plays.
25/50 NL very likely to play bigger than 100/200 TD.
