Nothing really. Some sites don't allow two connections from the same ISP, so that would mean only one could play at that site at a time (without getting two DSL lines....etc). Even if a husband / wife pair is at the same table in a single, or if is two random friends, either COULD collude. They key is are they colluding, not that they are related.
If you would fold the nuts on the river because you know it would knock your wife out of the tourney and you won't get any that night, then you shouldn't be playing at the same table. You should not be sharing cards (obviously) any more that two people COULD over instant messaging or the phone.
Not sure what book it was in, but the saying when you sit at the table, it doesn't matter who is sitting across the table (random stranger, or beloved grama) your goal is still to take there money, seems to apply here.
Should Annie Duke and Howard Lederer not be allowed to play at the WSOP TOC this year just because they are related??
