I don't have a problem with this.. does anyone else? They obviously made an agreement early on that if they got heads-up, they would check it down. This IS NOT collusion! This is two friends that decided they were not going to rape each other if they did not have to. You can not assume collusion here especially when they are holding AA and QQ

I dunno, in my book softplaying your friends is borderline collusion. I figured at best they were softplaying each other (not against the rules but arguably unethical) and at worst they were splitting profits at the end of the night.

It wasn't just this one hand, but ANY time they got heads up. But in regards to this hand, do you honestly think its a normal play to check AA on a non-paired non-threatening board after the turn, espeacially in a 1-3 spread limit game? I guess my definition of collusion is different than yours. In my mind if your play differs because your friends in the hand too, it's collusion.
