To reduce variance?

Any thoughts on effects of this would be appreciated

There's variance in 45's and 180's?? JK, I know many of us MTT players mix in the 45's and 180's to reduce MTT variance, not sure many 45 player grinders really worry that much about variance to do 18 mans, most play so many a day that I'm sure variance takes care of itself.

18's are already filled with a ton of regs at almost every stake... roi's are not very high anymore in them so i try to just mix them in when i'm really short on tables or sick of 12 180's (or if a 114 goes off ever)

18s r so gay. i swear i look at the payout structure and it seems like money is missing lol.

they'd be a lot better to mix in if they went on break like everyyyyy other multi table form of poker.

Anything above 16s are a complete waste of time/money so i guess it depends on what stakes you play.

For me, if I add in anything lower than 45 mans I'm feeling annoyed that I have to adjust the dynamics of a tourney I have hardly any interest in anyways due to the lack of dead $.

If I were going to play 18 mans I would be playing a bunch of 9 mans as well if I thought I had an edge w. such a small player pool.

they are easy, but no break = doesnt fit into my schedule. i play 45s and 180s, drink a lot of coffee and have to pee every now and then.

Yeah when you mention the word Grinder, that means 100+ 180mans a day, so variance really does work itself out haha
