Built up our bankroll for a Biloxi trip on Mar 7-11 Harrahs Gulf Coast. Looking forward to killing it on their .50/TTBP VP.

Which we did!

Probably referring to Variance?

So to me, all single hand VP's games should yield pretty much the same results over time, right? I mean all games should have the same "streakiness", right?

Not really. The "streakiness" is not a function of the deals, but, rather, the pay tables. A game like triple double concentrates a large percentage of the game return in a relatively small number of premium hands. If you don't hit one of those premium hands (aces, twos, threes, or fours with a kicker), or a royal, you're pretty much guaranteed to be a loser. Hence, it's extremely "streaky".
