    If a friend transfers me some money to play with online, and he decides to come sit in at the same cash table as I'm at, will poker sites look at that as collusion, even though there's clearly no intention of us colluding?

    Wouldnt that be the same as if you and some friends sat at a cash table @ Foxwoods?
    Because I've had friends sit at my table @ Foxwoods, where we clearly had no intention of colluding.

    Just some insight on that situation would be nice. I did tell him to get up and leave though at the online table just in case they decided to think we were colluding.

    I think that it doesn't help your case at all. But I don't think there is a problem with it. It does look suspicious but as long as there isn't any clear evidence then there isn't a problem...

    Thanks.
    Yea I figured it would look suspicious thats why I asked and just told my friend to leave the table just in case Absolute feels it's in their power to lock our accounts for like no reason.

    I used to have to transfer to my roommate almost daily, we'd play MTTs and SNGs and occasionally cash tables together. stars did actually freeze my account one time (still not 100% sure it was related to this) but they resolved everything quickly and found there was no collusion. So to answer your question, yes its fine, but dont be surprised if stars ends up checking up on it, but if you don't cheat you will turn out just fine.
