Re: Beginner Question about tournaments

STAY THE EFF away from MTTs.. they are very high in variance / skill factor matters least out of all types of cashgame/tournaements. you won't make good progress with it.
I strongly recommend you to play NL HE. it's the easiest to learn IMO, has lower variance than limit, and as you progress as a poker player, you will have hard time learning to play "real poker" if you only play tournaments where most of the game is played preflop, due to average stacks being very shallow (10~20bb in comparison to 100bb+ deep in cashgames)
get Bob Ciaffone's NL/PL book for solid and practical NL foundation, Get Theory of poker as it will explain the 'game theory' part of poker, so you can understand why it is correct to make a certain move, and get inside the poker mind to help you understand variance, psycology and dicipline of poker. with those 3 books + posting /reading in SSNL forums, you should be set.
