Re: How do you apply the 10xbb rule in a pot limit tournament?
Usually when you are that short in a PL tournament you should limp or min-raise preflop (depending on how that action will influence the play of the table) and then push/fold post flop.
I rarely ever make a pot sized raise in PL poker preflop for reasons that are well beyond the scope of this post. Ferguson has commented a ton on this, calling the concept "exponential growth of the pot."

Also does anyone know a simply way to calculate maximum bet sizes in pot limit?

If you are opening: 3XBB + SB is the max bet.
If there is another player, you add their bet to that amount.
In live action, the way you do it is to announce your raise, and then place the amount of the call in the pot. You can then quickly add up all the money in the pot and then count out any raise up to that amount. This is not a string raise, and is the "correct" way to bet in pot limit poker.
