track, you shouldn't loose hope so soon..there's still 3 games to go and you aren't very far from the money..as for reading, i'd suggest you to look over at the
tips and
strategy articles at BBP. There's some really nice tournament advice.
One other thing that Acorn pointed out was the blinds structure. They go up very quickly...to a point where you basically have to go all-in every other hand...This isn't quality poker..We'll take care of that in Season 3.
