Maxwell Rosete Wins The Okada Kickoff
It feels good to win. I've been on a slump for months already and having this score brings back some confidence to my game though a lot should still be tweaked.
Maxwell Rosete came from behind at three-handed to eliminate the last two players in his path to clinch the first featured event title of the series.
I was familiar with the dynamics that was happening at three-handed, aggro on my left and a little bit passive on my right... I just tried to see the flop as cheap as possible versus my left and win small pots until I've built a stack that would make him fold once I get it in. Those added chips would then give a cushion versus the shorter stack. I was also lucky to win an all in preflop situation where I was behind, and won the flip where it mattered the most.
