I'm not sure how NL works, but unless variance increases exponentially with increasing limits (and I don't recall ever hearing that is does), your overall variance will be lower. This is because you are actually playing more games at the lower limits than at the limit you are rolled for. E.g., in my case my BR is $3k+, so according to most poker books I should be playing at $5/10.

But using my system I'm actually playing more hands below $5/10 than at $5/10 or $10/20.

Here's the figures for hands played at each level this month (rounded to the nearest hundred hands)

$10/20 - 1300
$5/10 - 7800
$3/6 - 4500
$2/4 - 10400
$1/2 - 7000
Total = 31000

Based on these figures, my average limit is $3/6 and thus my variance in cash terms is actually about 40% less than it would be if I had played all 31000 hands at $5/10.
