The Muck: Is Real-Time Assistance in Live Poker a Problem?

On Sunday, Jared Jaffee stirred the pot when he shared a photo on Twitter of Brock Wilson with what appears to be a preflop chart open on his phone during a live poker tournament.

Wilson wasn't in a hand at the time when he was snapped glancing at a solver on his phone. He didn't break any rules at the poker room he was playing in — Wynn Las Vegas. Still, there were many who debated if using any sort of real-time assistance (RTA) tools in live poker are acceptable, even just preflop charts.
