Tonight's £33, £12,500 Guaranteed Double Stack has only 145 runners at 7.20pm. It starts at 8pm, & unless there are 417 runners, it's ole overlay time.

    I have to admit i'm looking at my bankroll and trying to decide if I want to push the boat out on this one.  Probably going to wait till nearer 8.00 and then make my decision. 

    I HATE to break my bankroll rules but that overlay sure looks tempting lol

    Its when the guarantee money exceeds the money paid by the entrants to the game so for example tonight I think there has to be 417 entrants to cover the guaranteed prize pool, any less than that and Sky makes up the difference.

    Overlay is the extra money that SkyPoker are contributing to the prize pool.
    Where there is a guaranteed prize pool (£12,500 in this case) if the entry fees make less than this, there is an overlay.
    12500/30 = 417 approximately so if less then 417 enter, there is an overlay.
    This doesn't include the "rake", i.e. the extra £3 that you pay to SkyPoker in the entry fee.

    Hi Chip.

    Overlay is when there is a Guarantee of, say, £1,000 for a Tournrey that costs £10 to Enter, & it only has 80 runners.

    80 x £10 = £800, there is  £1,000 GUARANTEED, so there is £200 of Overlay. It;s free money for poker players really.
