I think this is a difficult problem because every player has a right to play their cards as they wish in poker. You have to say though that it verges on players engaging in teamwork against the other players at the table, and that could be interpreted as collusion.

Not making large bluffs against a close friend is seen by some as being a good friend, especially when there is a lot of money on the table, but on a personal note, I do not agree with this type of play. I have a close friend who comes along to our live event some weeks, and whilst I know there are not vast amounts of money at stake, my principals are that I will play as well as I can at all times and try to win all his chips.

When it comes to poker, I feel that every player should be ruthless on the table. My friend took my out of the tournament once with (A,10) by rivering a ten against my (A,J). I bought him a beer later though and would never get annoyed about this.

It seems honourable and respectful to other players at the table if we treat even our friends as the enemy on the table, and both parties should accept this as just poker.
