    Having taken yet another beating at 50nl, I'm going back to my favourite table on Sky Poker right now...

    Action Table 11 - 20p/20p.

    There are currently FOUR empty seats!

    I know hit and run merchants are part and parcel of the game, but they're incredibly annoying!!!

    Managed to recover my early losses at Action Table 11 - and just about broke even there.

    In summary, an interesting and enjoyable night...

    The biggest lesson I've learned in the last three weeks is, as long as I stick to 20nl and 30nl, I'm able to grind out a profit.

    When I venture into the choppy waters of 50nl, things go wrong. Badly wrong :-o

    So, for the next few days, I'll continue to play the 20p/20p 'Action' tables. I think early evening (5-7pm) suits me best, but I may mix it up.

    And I'll offer my final thoughts on my 'Cash Crusade' at the end of the week. Ahead of that, I wish you the best of luck if you're playing any of the Christmas UKOPS events in the next four days. Play well and run better!

    And so my Cash Crusade is at an end...

    In the first week, I discovered that short-stacking is not for me.

    In the second week, I discovered that multi-tabling is a great way of levelling variance and curbing my impatience.

    In the third week, I discovered that ten-handed tables drive me to distraction.

    In the fourth week, I discovered the allure of the new 'Action' tables and the awesomeness of heads-up cash.

    All in all, this has been a fun experiment.

    Now I know my ideal game (six-max 'Action'), the limits I'm most comfortable playing (20p/20p and 30p/30p), the best time of day to play and optimal duration of session (early evening; 30-45 mins), I will certainly be a more frequent visitor to Sky Poker's No Limit Hold'em tables.

    If you're mainly a tournament player, I urge you to embark on a crusade of your own and explore the wonderful world of cash. What's the worst that can happen? I guarantee it'll make you a better MTT player (especially your approach to turn and river play) and you may discover that it's a better way of grinding out a profit.

    Anyway, good luck in all your poker endeavours in 2012. Happy New Year!
