Pokerstars suspending some microstakes during Scoop?

#1 4th March 2009, 10:55 AM

I went to play my usual 4AM 10 cent with $50 added tournament today, and all the microstakes games had no players and no registration. Now, I see some of the games are back, and some are missing completely. Like the 360 player SNGs for 10 cents are not listed. I presume this is to free up the servers for the extra Scoop games and qualifiers. Anyone have any facts on this?

More than likely it's because this is their site maintenance, upgrade and back-up time. Every week on Tuesday nights.

If you look at their Main Lobby, the scrolling info box at the top shows there will be a scheduled server re-start at 0700 ET, and an explanation about removed and reduced games during this time. Happens evey week. They even discontinue freerolls during this time period.

Wednesday AM is when you get the weekly software updates when you log-in next. Their 0700 re-start would be to initialize the updates on their server.

No its just a server restart.
The kill all the sng/mtt action couple hours before restart to avoid voiding a bunch of tourneys.
