Re: Soft Playing? Chip Dumping?
One clear such case is if you have an agreement, come to an agreement, or suggest an agreement with another player at the table.
I was in a SNG on UB this weekend where two fo the players started talking about eliminating me next (I was 2nd stack the big stack was huge). And then started folding in hands against each other. This didn't look above board to me.
More often I see it when somebody chats "check it down?" when there are 3 players in a pot, one of whom is all in. IMHO it wouldn't be cheating to not bet a reasonable hand in this situation, but it would be cheating to verbalize this intention and try to get another player in the hand to agree with it.
