I believe the top 15% of each qualifier got through to the event proper (i.e.not based on the prize pool generated)

As for Luton; can't understand why they organised the qualifiers on Saturdays when the majority of the regulars shy away, and the punters who go for a night out want a regular tourney (i.e. the £4k guarantee they were running)

I'd loved to have got through, as I qualified for the minimum for this tourney last year and I think the format and value are great.

More PLHE comps I say...!

15% of the field is what i thought too pete. regardless of re-buys.

Can't stand pot limit tournaments - the way they are played in the UK does not lead them to be a bigger test of skill, rather everyone feels obssessed to only ever bet or raise the full pot which just creates very big pots that you wouldn't get in a no limit tournament

Made me laugh the amount of people that said to me during this tournament "I don't like pot limit". I did explain to them that they were in fact allowed to raise 3xbb or bet 3/4 pot on the flop but none of them seemed able to grasp this....

The only thing I don't like about Pot Limit Hold'Em tournaments is the fact that it is harder to use your stack size as a weapon. This can work both in terms of being able to push people off big pots when you're stacked up and forcing them to fold when you're short.

How often do you overbet the pot in NLHE tournaments?

Well, if you think about being shortstacked, then pretty much every time you push is an overbet.
