how should i prepare for the WSOP? (help the cash game donks)

[KRANTZ]

i'm a cash game specialist, you could say. i play and coach a ton of NL cash online, up through 25/50, and plan on playing most of the NL events this summer.

but i'm fairly certain i'm a tournament donkey. i have no idea how to play a shortstack, or adjust to increasing blinds, and it seems to me that there are going to be a ton of guys who play MTT's day in and day out who have a huge advantage over me in technical areas because of the way they think about those things.

i also don't play much live poker. i've played my fair share, but i'm rusty, and reading people outside of bet sizing and pattern recognition will likely be an issue for me.

i've got a month or so to prepare. i have HOH 1+2 but have never read them. i have lots of time on my hands. i would be open to getting coached, as well, but only if it were from someone really, really good at tournaments.

i think i'm pretty +EV right now, but i also think it's retarded to buy in to all these events if i'm not well prepared and trying my best to win each of them.

any help is much, much appreciated guys!
