as for OP's questions:
variance is... variance, mostly used to refer to the influence of luck in the short term
EV is "expected value", so +EV is something that gives you a positive expected value in the long term (aka "a profitable thing")
mostly used to refer to good plays in hand discussions
Thank you! It may take me a while to get used to the lingo

But yeah, going from fake money to real, you will see an obvious difference in how tight players play because it's real money (although there are some exceptions ).
SnG's are a good place to start imo.
That's what I expected would happen switching to real money. Got a little tired getting beat by hands that should of never made it past the pre flop.
SnG's is probably going to be my next step. I'm currently signed up in the PokerStrategy freeroll.
