Streak Week Cheating or Bad Etiquette?

Hi there,

I'm currently on a high streak within the DYM's Streak week. I have just played a game whereby a player, has played in such a way to make it near impossible for me to win (knowing I have a high streak built). When on the bubble, he would limp every hand into the short stacks big blind, and do everything he could to try and chip him up (check to the river, put himself as away etc). This is essentially chip passing, which I thought was not allowed? Is this within Sky's rules, or is it cheating?
Further, he would shove and call off any two cards into me, targeting myself, in the hopes of busting me out (I understand this part is probably just poor etiquette).
He's done this to me before on an £11 DYM, when I had a streak a few days ago, but I let it slide.

Happy to share the hand history too if need be.

    stopping other players streaks is part of the strategy for the promo I would be stupid to not try and stop you

    Bertie really what a joke it is electronic poker not really sure what you expect there is no bad etiquette just plain luck most of the time. But you do sound a little upset maybe sky will refund you lol

    I won the game that's not my point. The point is the chip passing. I'm merely enquiring whether this is allowed or just poor etiquette? @Doc1905

    I don't think it's cheating as such , if he is working with said player(s) the yes , maybe bad etiquette , yes but the bloke is trying to win a Vegas package so he has to do what's right for him in getting an edge over his competitors
    Also imho i'd call bad etiquette in naming names on a public forum

    @stokefc Regarding naming someone here, fair enough. I've edited the post to not include names until a definitive answer has been supplied.
    I just didn't think passing chips to others players was allowed. I personally would never do this, as in my opinion it's cheating.

    Fair play mate , what i have said is just my opinion and i might (probably) be completely wrong

    Bit late editing their name after he's replied to your post. It seems its easy to accuse someone of cheating without any consequences for the accuser

    @Kinda6677 He's more than welcome to delete his comment. If you think blatant chip passing is ok then fair enough. I have the hand history which I'm happy to share with whoever relevant. Me naming is just bad etiquette, it doesn't breach any rules.

    I'm sure he's just trying to win his place to Vegas, and he's doing what he needs to win

    @Kinda6677 As far as I'm aware, chip dumping breaches the rules to the DYM streak week. Doing what you need to win doesn't excuse cheating.

    No mention of chip dumping, only collusion, which is completely different.

    I wasn't chip dumping limping and then checking down every street isnt dumping I could have folded to no bet which may have been a grey area

    Intentional chip passing to another player, and placing yourself as 'away' to allow said player to bet into yourself to win the pot is cheating in my view.

    I've always respected your grind on here, and to be honest before this happened, I hoped you would win a package as you deserve it for all the hours you put in.
    But intentionally passing your chips off to another player on the table doesn't sit well with me.

    I do sympathize I 100% was and will continue to try and bust your streak (as I am with everyone else in the running) that's what the promo makes you do

    @johnmonty Intentionally passing your chips to another player is a red flag. Targeting me is fine (albeit bad etiquette in my opinion). The problem is limping into another short stacked player, with the intention to purposely dump your chips to them.

    why would I try and bust the other 2 when if you lose it potentially makes me a £4k package, its just part of the promo and you have to adjust accordingly
