Default True...

On a session by session basis, I agree with you. But $ for $ wagered (and this would sort of eliminate that bias of reaching into your pocket...), I think that the all-or-nothing nature of SNGs would make the variance there higher.

I guess it just depends on what we mean when we say variance. I think the way you're talking about it, it means how much you're up/down at the end of a session, but for me it's measured based on the number of dollars actually wagered. So for a ring game, I'd mean the variance of starting with a stake the same size as your SNG entry and spending about the same amount of time at the table.

Still, point taken...
