Default Are the games better than normal this month?

This question is to B&M regulars: Have the games been softer this month because college kids on spring break have been at your tables?

I'm wondering if a) you have noticed more college kids at your tables than the average and b) if the average college kid is bad enough that the presence of one or two more college kids at your table is enough to have a noticable effect on your winrate. I'm also wondering if this varies accross games. I assume that the strongest effect would be in baby NL games but low-mid stakes limit games would also show a positive effect.

Another interesting thing might be to see how strong an effect is at limit games 30/60+ and 5/10 NL or higher. I would think that the college kid who is playing this level is at least a highly profitable online player who understands the game. The only college age kids that I know with enough money to play in games that high are poker players and drug dealers. I'm not saying that profitable but young/inexperienced online college players don't often have significant exploitable leaks as a result of their failure to adjust their game to live play, just that in order to have a roll big enough to play in those games you aren't going to see as many 'WPT wannabies' as at the lower limits. That makes me think of another question, for those who are playing 30/60+, 5-10NL+ is the college aged kid at your table better or worse than the avg player? the typical fish?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

-Steve

Despite the many attractions including a small casino in the middle of nowhere, several cigarette stores where smokers can stock up at half price, 2-3 low quality hotels within a 60 mile radius, and cold weather...Mtdoak was the only one that came to Salamanca NY on Spring Break. So, no.

I wish that was why I posed this question but alas, I have not been to Turning Stone in over a month. I have noticed a lot of fish online lately but I think that might just be a coincidence...
