My wife and I sometimes play at the same table. Usually I'm playing higher, but if we are in a room that only has 3/6 or 4/8, we'll play together no problem.

When we are heads-up, we always play it out. Of course, we're more willing to make loose calls on the end.

It usually becomes clear pretty quickly, regardless of where we are sitting, that we are together. I always will show a hand at the end if there was someone else besides us in, just to make it clear we aren't colluding.

One night at the Aladdin 3/6 we were heads-up after the flop betting. It was a fun table and everyone was getting along. The dealer just ran the cards out (all-in style) rather than letting us playing it down to the end. Initially I was startled, but it lightened the table up even more, which was cool. I was disappinted because I like to play it out, but his presumption kept the game light and sped it up, so I couldn't complain.

The reaction at the table when your wife 3-bets you is pretty amusing. Just remember to keep it fun and keep it on the up-and-up and you'll do fine.
