Sklanskys book for tournament poker is good. Also a tournament book by TJ and McEvoy. If you are playing the stars tournies, its just best to sit tight for the first 30 minutes and on the 3rd level you can pick up chips with solid hands. Its not just about playing the best hand, but outplaying your opponent with position (position raises and blind stealing are key). Just remember to peg down the calling startion so that you don't have to lose any more than you have to. The good/solid players will most likely fold to a bluff.

my experiences also suggest that tight play is mandatory. i agree with tilter, that blind stealing becomes important, but i would only really start to do that in the later rounds. in the early rounds the blinds are low enough, and there are enough impers that blind stealing is often a bigger risk than you need to take.
really, just try to wait out the idiots who push it in early, and then take advantage of other players by using the information that you gather about them early on. of course, a little luck doesnt hurt either. |

Luck, and unrelenting aggression! I just took down a pot with AJo with a board of Q K 5 J 2. I check raised him twice, and bet hard on the river. I have a feeling he laid down a Q, or even a K! Hey ... you have to compensate when you don't have position!
Maybe not the best of all moves, but I'm already up pretty good for the night and I've only been playing for an hour.
