If its just a silent understanding between them, that they are not going aggressively after each other, then I would not call it cheating. As others have said, there are also situations, where we might want to avoid getting involved with a certain player for many other reasons than him being our "buddy". Maybe he is the chip leader, maybe we feel, he is better than us, maybe we just dont like the way, he play.

However if they actively agreed to soft play each other, then that is definitely cheating. And its also fairly naive to think, that players, who communicate during play, will limit it to a decision about soft playing each other. When she spirit is out of the bottle anyway, you can be pretty sure, they are also sharing information about hole cards and giving each other advice.

To be honest I did that many years ago with a buddy on Zynga Poker mainly to try to help him improve his game. On a play money site like that I think, its a bit whatever, and the site was full of rampant collusion and bots anyway, so I certainly dont feel quilty about it.

But I dont think, its ok at all, if people do this in games for real money. So if we end up on a table with a "buddy" by coincidence, we should keep our path clean and do no more than use the table chat to say hi to him. No Messenger, Skype, phone call or anything outside of the poker table.
