Really excited to give this a try after bouncing around the micros for a while, moving from 2NL to 10NL on stars and then from 4NL to 10NL on Carbon.  I decided I wanted to give tournament play a shot, and see how I can do, so I thought I would try here. 

I've received a couple of lessons from a friend who traveled the circuit for about 7 years, and managed to bink one of my first MTTs after depositing some money over on BCP. 

I'm 35, I already work two jobs to try and support my family, but am able to dedicate Tuesday afternoons and one of my afternoons on Saturday or Sunday to my poker efforts.  I work at 3AM, so I have to play tourneys in the afternoon.  Currently I'm on BCP, and with my BR, I have it set so that I only play 2 $5 tournaments per week, and the rest $3 and down.  The problem I'm having, and could use some suggestions with, is that there are very few non-turbos available to me.  I'm finding that as I learn, I like to simply play more.  With turbos, you obviously quickly find yourself in the 20BB and less spot of having to 3bet shove, or open shove.  I need practice with that, but also with more deep stack play as well, which is where my strength is, coming from cash games.  Does anyone have any thoughts on what tournies I can play in that time frame (2-7PM Central time in the US).

Thanks, and GL!
