They have made it clear that using solvers while in a hand during the 2023 WSOP is strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement this week, the WSOP warned players against using RTA\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/blog\/the-beginners-guide-to-gto-poker\">GTO poker software<\/a> as the practice could subject them to disqualification. The WSOP reserves the right to impose further penalties on a player caught using the tool in any other situation, the statement said. <\/p>\n<p>Officials also clarified that players may still access the WSOP.com app or Caesars Mobile Sports App on their device while involved in a hand as using such apps won\u2019t give them an unfair advantage over their opponents.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mixed-views-from-poker-community\">Mixed Views from Poker Community<\/h2>\n<p>When the controversy involving Esposito\u2019s use of the GTOWizard app erupted, many members of the poker community called for an outright ban on solvers during live tournaments to maintain the integrity of the game. But for other poker pros, there isn\u2019t any problem with using such tools while competing in a live event, provided the player doesn\u2019t use them while involved in a hand. <\/p>\n<p>For instance, <strong>Phil Galfond<\/strong> is giving Esposito the benefit of the doubt as he already said that he only used the GTOWizard app to reference a previous hand. If that was exactly what happened, then Esposito\u2019s actions were \u201c<em>entirely ethical<\/em>\u201d considering the current tournament rules, according to Galfond.<\/p>\n<p>A similar controversy broke out in the 2016 WSOP, but at that time, the tool used was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/poker-strategy\/push-fold-charts\">push-fold chart<\/a>. <strong>Jason Mcconnon<\/strong> brought with him a push-fold chart while competing in the 2016 WSOP Main Event. <\/p>\n<p>Mcconnon pulled the chart, which is considered a poker cheat sheet, in the middle of the hand while he was about to make a decision. The floor intervened and tournament director <strong>Jack Effel<\/strong> ultimately decided that cheat sheets should not be used in a
