If we play heads up we make a lot of move against eachother and it looks odd to the table... usually gives the other players a bad vibe and scares off the Donkeys

I've rarely seen this to be the case in reality. But I guess it sounds good when you say it.

The problem becomes this... we know eachothers play so well... we would end up calling eachother down on the river with middle pair, A high, ect... and other players feel we are cheating and/or much better player than we actually are.

Lame. Again, I've rarely ever seen this effect in a game to even consider it. But still, it sounds good.

First, you're giving others too much credit for actually watching your game and how you play.

2nd. The thing that would tip them off is if you got it HU (primarily postflop) and checked it down with less than stellar hands. Betting into eachother HU doesn't make them paranoid it shows that you will play hard against everyone.

3rd. You are cheating by signalling your buddy to fold. How do you think that will go over if someone catches your little 'eye wave'?

4th. No winning player that I know that plays worth a crap thinks they have enough of an edge in a game that they can fore-go bets to a bud during a hand. Unless, of course, there is a reason you can fore-go those bets...

And that reason isn't to keep a game loose.
