Does Omaha have much more variance than Holdem?

[absolutista2021]

I'm in doubt, because I heard that Holdem has a stronger level, but Omaha has more variance, so it seems that they are equated. I would like to know your opinions, thank you and best regards.

This is the general experience of players, and the likely explanation is, that equities tend to run closer in Omaha, which tend to lead to bigger pots. Primedope list the following standard deviations as being typical:

* NLH full ring 60-80 BB/100
* NLH 6-max 75-120 BB/100
* PLO full ring 100-140 BB/100
* PLO 6-max 120-160 BB/100

Esta es la experiencia general de los jugadores, y la explicación probable es que las acciones tienden a estar más cerca en Omaha, lo que tiende a conducir a botes más grandes. Primedope enumera las siguientes desviaciones estándar como típicas:
