I've uninstalled and reinstalled the client. They were there yesterday and are gone today. I have "All" checked in both Stakes and Max Players. I do not have the Min. Players Seated box checked.

Not seeing any other chatter about this on here, either draw and mixed games are really unpopular and no one noticed them missing, or there's something weird happening on my end and they aren't actually missing.

I've written to support, but it has been less than a day since I did. In the meantime, I'm curious whether anyone else is having this issue.

I see mixed cash games (NLHE/PLO and 8-game), but no draw games.

All draw games have been removed. Cash and tournaments.
They have been gone since yesterday.
Support says it is a "technical issue", and that they say they are working to fix it as soon as possible. I think they really ought to prioritize fixing this, losing an entire game type without announcement/warning/notification or any indication of what/if/when they are going to fix things, or any timescale - this is really bad.

If this had happened with NLHE instead it might be the single best thing they could have done to save online poker as a whole

To add a little tangential context: Power Up was down for like 5 or 6 days a couple of months back.

While it more likely it just technical issue/testing I would not be surprised if today stars just removed without any notification permanently.

There was some bug where if you were all in and had selected the cards to draw before the action was on you, the button would still say stand pat so I’d guess it’s to do with that. Happened to me the other day in an 8-game tourney, was super tilting lol.

This auto stand pat bug has happend to me twice in the tourney. First I thought it was my misclick, but now I guess we can ask for some refund since it's was their issue.

This is really good news - I was afraid they had pulled them for good (which would be really, really odd). Yes OP, there are people who notice! (after all I finally navigated to this never used by me forum and searched for this thread)

Was told years ago draw could not be added to mobile. Any update if 2to7 will ever find it’s way to mobile

All the draw and stud games are more fun and offer a possible edge compared to NLHE / PLO -- which makes it frustrating that they STILL are not readily listed in cash games on mobile (except one 8-game mix, but no single-game like Razz or Badugi etc.)
