Final table bubble

In all my recent enthusiasm for $20,000 BI+EF MTT NLHEs, I lost sight of MTT 8-games temporarily. Last night I decided to play an 8-game (in addition to some NLHEs) for two reasons:

1. I hadn't been doing well at MTT NLHEs
2. I was bored of playing the same game all the time

I failed to make the money in the MTT NLHEs, but did very well in the MTT 8-game. I ended up bubbling the final table, coming in 7th. That got me to wondering if that had ever happened to me before; turns out it had, three previous times. From now until the end of the year, I'm going to try to play at least one MTT 8-game per session.
