The hateful eight

I've never seen Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight", but that won't stop me from appropriating its title :-) In this case, the hateful eight are the hands I played in the first MTT 8-game I entered last night. I joined towards the end of the late registration period; that was my first mistake. On top of that, I ran into a cooler on the very first hand, which removed over half my stack in a New York minute. I made up for this sorry performance by lasting 17 times as long in the next MTT 8-game I played, and getting under the lights.
