Poker term
What is Overlay in poker?
Overlay
An overlay is when the total buy-ins in a tournament do not reach the preset guarantee, meaning the casino or cardroom has to put up the rest of the money themselves and take a loss.
“It was a $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, but the buy-ins only reached $1,800,000. What a massive overlay!”
