My suggestions:
 
[B]1 - Skip Caro's [I]Book of Tells[/I] and [U]get Navarro's [I]Read 'em and Reap[/I] instead[/U].[/B]
 
I can't emphasise this one strongly enough - if you're going to spend money on a tells book, Navarro is a bajillion times better than Caro, especially if your main game is casino NLHE.  The pictures are better, the explanations are better and the science is a [I]lot[/I] better.  Plus it doesn't waste time crapping on about draw poker home games.
 
[U]Serious question:[/U] how many of the people who are recommending Caro have read both and are [I]still[/I] recommending it over Navarro?
 
[B]2 - Familiarise yourself with all the rules of live poker[/B]

[B]3 - For the most part, skip the tournaments and stick to cash games[/B]
 
Casino tournaments, especially ones with low buy ins, are notoroius for having terrible structures where the blinds go up super-fast.
 
If you find some where the opponents are seriously terrible or luck out and find one with a really good structure then by all means go for it.  But for the most part, you'll be a lot better off (and spend a lot less time pulling your hair out) at the cash tables.
