on stars you can transfer money to another user anytime you want. if you are playing heads-up at a table, what is the incentive to lose to your friend? if they are playing a sit&go then yes they can collaborate, but usually they don't try and dump to one of the two but get both of themselves into the money by NOT facing off heads-up and just squeezing others.

i don't do this, but some of the guys i play live with do do this with each other. and they don't get caught when they are deliberately colluding over msn and always sitting together. then when two friends play head-up, neither would be a winner because the bosses catch it? and what about users you don't personally know, but just happen to play against often or develop a rivalry with? you can't take them on head-up?

i wonder what stake this was at, because if it truly was money-laundering, it should be taking place at the three-figures or more. playing your friend head-up for a tenner or what have you should be no big deal, and the casino should be grateful they use their poker room for it rather than actually meeting live for a game. the situations desribed here seem to indicate the least injurious forms of known associates congregating at a table.
