Hello PG&C,
Its been too long since I have been posting and reading regularly on 2p2, I have learned and loved my experiences on the forums ever since I found it in 2010.
Quick Background
30 y/o education professional in Houston TX (associate professor of chemistry at community college). Playing poker ever since freshman year of college at UCF in orlando around 2005. Transitioned to dealing at underground games throughout graduate school in Nashville, TN until 2014. Trips to vegas over the last 10 years or so along with Tunica, Southern Indiana, Choctaw, SoFla, to play tourneys and cash. Play all of the games. Never kept track of cash results or tourney cashes that specifically. Binked one tourney win (Big O) in 2012 at Caesars Poker Series during WSOP

I am an improperly bankrolled losing cash game player, love a good 1/3 NLHE or 1/3 PLO.......
BUT I BELIEVE I CAN SHOW A PROFIT AT SMALL STAKES NLHE TOURNAMENTS!!! I now have an opportunity to prove this to myself.
The Garage
I have recently found a local establishment that runs weekly tournaments on multiple days. Safe, well run, good dealers, recreational players, example of schedule below.
Monday & Friday $60 ($45 prize pool/$5 house/$5 high hand/$5 dealer toke): 10k starting stack, 15 minute blinds, one $60 re-buy per table, about 4 hour tourney, average 50-70 players, average age 45+, highest 5 card hand that is shown down wins high hand pool, winner gets
Tourney of Champions seat at the end of the quarter. *Structure is ok, no antes, avg of ~20 big blinds at final table*
I want to prove to myself that between now, and my Vegas trip for the series, I can show a profit in these tournaments, along with Saturday and Sunday tournaments sprinkled in if I can attend. I also want to have a place to share and compile info and discussions. Feel free to comment, all advice and questions are welcome, I answer questions for a living
