A farewell to 8-game

At one point, I thought my best poker flavor was 8-game. Now, I know this to be false. Since I swore off cash games and sit and gos, the only remaining style I would occasionally play 8-game in was MTT.  Now I've decided not to play any more of that, which means a farewell to 8-game completely. What led me to this decision? An excellent quit signal :-) With my latest failure to make the money in an MTT 8-game, my MTT 8-game balance moved up (or down, depending on how you look at it :-)) to my worst style and flavor combination. I've lost $216,830 on it; my next worst combination is KO NLHE, on which I've lost $133,064.
