More foxwoods Q's

Thanks for the info..

So what would you say is the typical buy-in for the no limit games? Are there players buying in for several thousands, or are the deep stacks accumulated winnings?
Is adding-on chips allowed? Frowned upon?

The aggresive players - are they quality players, or more the 'bet and hope' type?

The 5/5 has a wide range of players, from people who habitually play the capped 1/2 game and are taking a shot at a higher level to guys who play it all the time and could concievably be making a living out of it. For a while, they were also spreading a 10/25 blind NL game that took a lot of the quality players out of the 5/5 but last couple times I was there the 5/5 was the biggest NL game going.

I've seen people sit with 1500 and I'm sure others sit with more but that doesn't necessarily mean they're good or terrible; its varies from player to player. There's really no good answer to your aggressiveness question. Some of the players are quite good, some are quite bad. As always, the key is figuring out which is which before you get too involved. If there's a waiting list and you can't get seated right away, I'd definitely recommend watching the games to get a feel for how they play.

See this thread: link for some discussion on appropriate buyins for the 5/5 game there.
