Crash course in LHE

[Reel Deal]

Got the call from our local poker room today and I'm officially signed up for the NLHE tournament with Tom McEvoy on Thursday night... now, if I get knocked out early the only games they have are stud, LHE, limit omaha and limit pineapple and I'd rather sit down and play LHE for an hour or so than drive all the way back home. Only problem is I have almost no experience with LHE.

Should I bother? I believe they have $1/$2 limit... if you were to sit down at that table what should your buy-in amount be? Any other advice? I googled "LHE strategy" but nothing very solid came up.

Thanks.
