It is collusion and technically cheating that you know. If Im in a tournie my mate is in, I'll talk to him if we get involved in the same hand or whatever. But not like try and arrange to get in the cash. Even that is still passive collusion. Be careful you dont end up playing too much on the same table as the same people, on paper that does look suspicious etc.
Don't get to used to it, you wanna be able to win at poker without having to collude with people.
