Quick caveat - I've only played about 200 tournaments in 2012 so the sample size is meaningless, I could easily just be lucky. Having said that I'm pleased with my progress this year (watch for my graph next week) so draw from that what you will. I play on pokerstars.

I’ve dabbled in knockouts, rebuys etc and will do so again. But not yet.

I owe a lot to FTR and Keith is spot on, get stuck in and you'll learn fast. I've also read just about every tournament article in the strategy section here. The only book I've read cover to cover is Sklansky's Theory of Poker. I'm currently reading it again and plan to read a lot more books in 2013.

Dedicate yourself to improving, the money should follow. Study hard, review all sessions, post hands and listen to the answers. You get out what you put in.
