Through the blinds with Agent Black" I am playing in Nottingham, camoflauged in the brightest Caribbean shirt I can find. Subtext, fool the muggles into thinking I can't play.
Drew an easy table.
Seat 1. Eso Kral. Punter. Doesn't normally wear a shirt. New dad. Sleep deprived
Seat 2 Me. This is a stepping stone to the One Drop event at Vegas in the summer, where I will play disguised as Agent Sam Trickett
Seat 3 Nick Hicks. Seems nice. I have him as weak though. nice is weak. You need to be ruthless, like me crushing 5p-10p online and progressing to..5p-10p on another site
seat 6 Kinboshi. Nice. Nice is weak though. Thanks for the note from Q not to mention religion, speed cameras, homeopathy and Kenny Dalgliish
seat 8 Ben Vinson. Some random. Seems decent but not to my standard
Hand 1
I am in the small blind, my favourite position as they rarely see me coming to outplay them from there. My favourite is the smooth rim float jam that works so well on Friday nights against the Russians.
Nick Hicks raises to 1000 UTG at 200-400
Perfect. Phase one of my deception plan successful. I can now outplay him down the streets
I call. Again, I am nonchalant and flip the chips in like Le Cidre in Casino Royale. I still need to perfect the tears of blood as a reverse tell when I have the nuts though. No mpoint wasting it on these players though. Save it for Danny and Hellmuth in the summer when I amcrushing them.
the flop comes as I expected
10h
I check for deception with the aim to float with flair, dexterity and not a little technique
He c-bets 1,100
Perfect, that phase 3 complete
I call, as to plan
As long as it doesn't come the
, as I have him on 2-2.I will float
turn
.
Oh, Agent P leno never told me about this spot. I have 100,000 hands on eactly this flop against exactly this type of player and its never come the
I check, exuding strength hiding my inner confusion
He bets 3,600
I look at him, searching for breathing tells as taught to me in basic training by Agent P leno. He doesn't appear to be breathing.
I decide to fold, confident nonetheless that I could float and outplay him on the river if I wanted to
Hand 2
seat 9 raises to 800 on my big blind
I flick through my mental Heada Up display for the page in my manual that prepares me for this
Eso Kral 2050 on the button
I have Q-Q but confident I am up against Aces from the way his chips went into the pot I fold.
The initial raiser calls and check folds on
I knew I was right to fold!
Hand 3.
Now I am on the button. This is my domain, no one will mess with my button. I am he-john, master of the Black clan, Agent of doom
Will Webster raises to 1,100 UTG
On the button I decide to fold a two way combination post flop monster against this player, to lull him into a false sense of security
Agent Black. Out.
