If a player is deliberately playing soft against their friend at the table it is definitely a form of cheating. Collusion whether the friend knows it or not negatively will affect the game. It is certainly cheating.  If you are not playing against  every opponent with the goal of winning as much as possible against them then it’s not appropriate. Soft playing ones friend instead of playing aggressively can be costly as well. Seen to players who were obviously friends playing at Foxwoods, first guy was very loose and opened many hands light. His friend was the last one (maybe the 4th or 5th to call)in the  pot and simply flatted. . Flop comes 778 with 2 clubs. Friend A cbet gets raised and rerasied, now it’s on friend 2, who goes all in. Friend  1 couldn’t fold fast enough. Obv his aggressive friend built the pot up and he didn’t play his normal way and  simply calling preflop he let the 2 others stay in the pot cheaply. They both called his ill timed shove with ace 2 clubs, and 78. Guy had aces cracked because he soft played his buddy’s raises.  Should’ve bet bigger preflop and he likely would’ve taken it down or at the very least got the off suit 78 (winning hand ) off his hand.  No doubt had his friend not been in this hand he would have raised preflop. Soft playing cost him a huge pot. At least 3 -4 buy ins.
