Draw games seem to have disappeared

About an hour ago I went to play some 5-Card Draw, but there were no draw games of any kind available -- not even if I cleared all other filters.
I then checked the tournaments tab, and no draw tournaments of any kind -- except for the upcoming MicroMillions events.

I've fired off a support request to PokerStars, but I'm curious.

Is it just me or are they gone for everyone?

Thanks

Same here, at least for the time being.

I assume it's just a temporary thing, maybe related to maintenance or something. At least I hope so.

From PokerStars support
We would like to inform you that all Draw Games tables and tournaments, including Play Money and Real Money, are temporarily unavailable.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I desperately hope that they won't improve things too much ....

I found out today that there was a glitch in the client that caused a problem in draw games that caused some players to stand pat when they had selected some discards.

I had noticed this, but by clicking a couple of times I always got it to work (at least I think so).
I had assumed that it was a connection problem, but apparently not.

A mixed-games PokerStars pro streamer said that the draw games will be back "by Sunday"

I hope he's right...

That happened a few times to me too, it can easily be solved by de-selecting your cards and then selecting them once again. As long as you pay attention to what that draw button says before you click it, you should be safe.

And yes, this can sometimes also be caused by some connection problems mid-hand.

Let's hope the draw games will all be back safe and sound, without any unwanted changes. I wouldn't mind having a bigger selection of draw tournaments, though, including some higher buy-ins.

more than higher stakes, I would appreciate higher frequency

According to Pye, draw games should be back now

The stand pat thing happened to me and I reported it.

They then asked me to do network-related checks in their software, cmd prompt and my router, thinking I would just give up but the funny thing is I enjoy tinkering around. So I continued playing along and responding until THEY gave up and came up with some BS that its my ISP's problem and I should contact them.

Thanks for this thread!
