OK, I looked it up. (Stars TOS)

3.3 COLLUSION. Collusion between players by sharing hole cards or by other methods is stricly forbidden.

Trouble is, they don't expressly define collusion in the TOS, though they do say this elsewhere:

Collusion is a form of cheating in which two or more players signal their holdings or otherwise form a cheating partnership to the detriment of the other players at the same table

I think there's an argument to made that you're not colluding because you're not (intentionally) working with the other player to the detriment of others in the game, and it would be difficult for the big stack to actually be losing equity in this particular hand. If someone ratted you out to Stars support, however, I'd expect a warning (probably polite) from them, though.
