I know of no sources, but can only offer some advice:

Make sure you understand the rules. They may differ from the casino's standard rules, and be more favorable to the player.

Do not bet out of turn. TONS of info can be gained by knowing what others are betting. Pay attention and don't reveal any info until you have to.

Bankroll management is key. Typical bets are at most 1/3 of the bankroll. This gives you chips to split or double down, and still have chips in case that hand looses.

Split tens - with a favorable dealer's card showing. Since you only get 'X' hands to play, splitting increases the number of hands, so splitting tens is a viable option.

Do a search in the forums, there was a thread created a few months back with some very good advice from yours truly.

(I'm in a good mood today so I dug up the thread for you: https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/blackjack/471-blackjack-tounament-thoughts)
