- I actively deny that FL has a higher variance when normalized to equivalent blinds.
- I am skeptical that FL has a higher variance when normalized to the average pot. (skeptical = willing to accept with proof)
- I can easily believe that FL has a higher variance when normalized to win rate, but I'd argue that's because NL can produce higher win rates than FL.
In terms of building a bankroll, GG nailed it - the best way to build a bankroll, unless you're playing for high stakes, is to put money in from an outside source. If you want to grind a bankroll, the key quantity you want to maximize is the unitless quantity WinRate/StandardDeviation - accept a higher SD only if your WR is proportionally higher.
