Re: Heads up agreement?
I don't see how it is not collusion if two players verbally agree to put another player at a disadvantage that he would not have if they had not talked to each other.
In tournaments it happens all the time but usually it is a non verbal agreement, the turn comes and with out looking at the cards just looking at the other player someone very quickly says check the other responds with check and the same on the river (you don't really want to get involved with another big stack and your goal is to knock someone out of the tournament)
In a cash game you could easily lose value for a lot of the reasons psandman stated not pushing your opponent of draws etc. I guess you are probably losing that same value in a tournaments but other things factor in like knocking out people.
