How a Megastack Works

  • Stack: even deeper than a deepstack, so the early levels are relaxed.
  • Flights: players choose one of several Day 1 flights; the survivors meet on Day 2.
  • Field: a lower buy-in and the deep structure draw large fields and a bigger prize pool.

How to Play a Megastack

  • Patience: there is plenty of time in the early levels; avoid big pots without a strong hand.
  • Choose your flight: flights can differ in field size, and some allow re-entry from one flight to the next.
  • Plan for Day 2: a deep run can take two or three days, so check the dates before you enter.
