Table talk / collusion -- let it slide?

First off you make DAMN SURE that no one sees your hole cards.

Like real estate's first three rules, the first three rules of casino poker are...

protect your hand!
protect your hand!
protect your hand!

Second, it's ONE PLAYER TO A HAND. If this is a common occurrence between an obvious couple then you should say something to the dealer, who should then immediately put a stop to it.

It should also be noted that you don't have to make a big deal out of it when mentioning it. Just do it politely and casually. You could even say it jokingly and with a smile. Don't stop the whole game just to point it out. No reason to be humiliating to the offender more than need be. But you also don't want to come across as a bitter nit and bark at them as I've seen done.
