To go along with you checking out the MTT forum, there is a "MTT Digest" at the top as a sticky. It would serve you incredibly well to go in there and read some of the advice they offer before heading to your tourney.

Also concerning poker odds, etc, we have charts at:

Look on the right side and check out all of those charts. There are some showing the % of hitting your draws, showing you how to calculate outs for your draws, odds of hitting a specific hand on the flop, and how some hands stack up against others. It will also serve you well to learn those.

Good luck.
