OK, first of all, for those that don't know what "overlay" is... it's when a poker room guarentees the prize pool of a tournament and not enough players show up and play, causing the poker room to pay some of the prize pool out of their own pocket (aka the poker room loses money).
I've gone and registered at poker rooms before simply to play in a tournament they were hosting that had a tiny overlay (that last one I found was a 5k overlay on a $40k guarentee tournament, so thats 8%). Anyways, check out the mother of an overlay I found last night... it's almost too good to be true (but it's not... I played in the tournament last night and almost made the final table!).
Mansion is holding a $100k tourney every day for a month, and the overlay is currently hovering around $50k (it was 48% last night when I played).
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

OK, I realize my above post is kinda poorly worded and bleak.
See article Mansions silly overlay or search 2plus2 there is two threads on there about it!
