Answer 1

Try Online Poker Advantage. That should be what you're looking for.

Answer 2

There are durn near as many systems out there as there are successful players.  If you are satisfied with just playing MTTs I would advise you read Dan Harrington's books on tournament play "Harrington on Hold'em".  It is a multi-volume set that really gets in depth on tournament play taking you from the "shuffle up and deal" phase of the tournament to heads up at the final table.  Every concept you have ever heard poker wonks refer to such as "M" are discussed in depth.  If I had to limit myself to one volume of books for tournament play that would be it.  

Super System I & II are both good books, however, they do not go into depth about tournament play and much to my pleasure discuss other forms of poker besides nlhe.  T.J. Cloutier (sp?) has a good book on playing tournaments too.

There are many books out there on poker, go to a books a million and they have shelves of them, most of them say the same thing, only one goes into great, and I mean great, depth on tournament play and that is Harrington's.  Good luck.

Answer 3

First of all let me say that i think books like super system are really good reads, But i really feel that books and systems will only take you so far when it comes to real poker.  The books will tell you how to play queens and jacks, but what they don't tell you is specific situations, this is where your gut and past hands played come into play here. I never sit down at any table with a set way to play my hands. Even against people i have played with in the past, this is because they change up the way they play. So the more you play the better you will get.

Answer 4

I'm gonna agree with the above poster, and add anything but Sklansky to that list.  It really just depends on your skill level though; if you're a beginner, pretty much any literature out there will help.

Incidentally, MTTs are about the worst way to go about making money.  A very low percentage of the players cash, and the percentage that cash enough to make it worth their while is even lower.  Using 4 SNGs as a basis for criteria isn't really valid.

I don't play MTTs that much (I'm actually mainly a single table SNG player) but Phil Hellmuth's book (I forget the title) was quite helpful.

Answer 5

Doyle Brunson's Super System is considered the bible of poker.

Answer 6

Super System 2 and the Harrington on Hold 'em books are the best.
