Re: To speak or not to speak, that is the question

In story 2 there's nothing you can do to make them bet, but after the hand I'd explain in a non-aggressive manner that what they did wasn't really okay.

I think that this is important. I would not do as I believe OP did and just talk to the floor discretely. After the hand was over, I would say something out loud to the two players (and the table, if they are listening) about it not being cool to agree to check it down when someone is all in. No reason to be over-agressive. Indeed, it often takes some explaining about why it is different to check it down when it is truly heads up versus when a third party is all in, but it is a conversation worth having. If the conversation gets heated or players disagree with you about the rule, ask the floor to clarify.
