I have selected two of Plumoe's videos for analysis. Not because they are the best ones. Plumoe as a player produces content that is itself a master class in practical game theory. I have titled this short series "Plumoe and the Art of Fair Play Deception" - But what is "Fair Play Deception." The term is almost oxymoronic. Fair is associated with above-board, by the book play. Deception is underhanded, against the rules. Well, there I submit to you there is ample historical context for "fair play" deception - that which is surreptitious, but but underhanded. That which is not above-board, but is also not against the rules. This is what makes it an Art, and what makes Plumoe a master of that art. This second video shows that he is able to understand these boundaries and play within them masterfully.
