Eh, if your hook is interesting and your writing is generally solid, I'm not about to begrudge a few typos

True, but any re-reading will let you pick up a lot of the typos. If you write it once and ship it unedited, then you weren't interested, and the reader likely won't be either. Typos clue the reader into that early.
