Counting your cash at the strip club...

I once heard that you never count your money when you're sittin' at the table, that there'll be time enough for countin' when the pussy eatin's done.

Same I keep that shit secret. Gives me a much stronger negotiation position

I do think it's important to do an " inventory" every hour or so. I'll count my money in the Men's room, but "flashing" isn't a bad idea.

Maybe the girls that have been doing this a while have picked up on certain PL behaviors. That is if she sees a PL counting (or really just organizing) money, than he is probably considering getting a dance in the near future as opposed to the the PLs that don't do dances. I just think it's presumptive to think that it's going to be her, but she might as well try. I also think there are girls that really do this as it seems to be more than just a coincidence that they approach at this exact moment and it's not as if i'm constantly doing this either, literally two or three times at most during a several hour visit. It's almost as if taking cash out of your pockets brings the vultures out...

I know how much cash I have when I walk through the door, and I keep track of what I'm spending as I spend.

That said, if I need to check my cash reserves, I'll do it in the men's room in a stall. I also don't want other customers to know how much cash I have, because that could also lead to problems / drama.

IMO SCs are often seedy places often with seedy people, especially in dives IMO - I avoid showing my $$$ bc:

• there are def thieve/pickpocket dancers and they are often good at what they do - one of these type dancers seeing you have a big-wad and where you put it could cause you issues

• thieve/pickpocket custies could also try and lift your wad although this seems much less common than dancers doing it

• I don't want to attract unwanted attention including from fuglies (I prefer to keep a low-profile in clubs vs standing out too much)

I try to have my $$$ sorted b/f I hit the club - if for w/e reason I don't when entering the club then I head to the restroom and hit a stall - I may have to count my $$$ once or twice during a visit, if so I'll usually do it b/w my legs.

^ Definitely agree with all of those points, even if i do try to avoid the seedier places. Am always mindful of where my wad/wallet is at all times, and and now a bit more defensive of personal items, like phone, in the presence of dancers. Especially if they seem a bit hood or drug-addicted...

100% with Papi on not showing any of my cash at the SC, ever, due to the company. But beyond safety issues, being a bit anal retentive, I:

• Put together the amount for a single VIP ($120), and fold it in half. I'll put 3 of those folded bundles in my wallet. When I want to do a VIP, I can reach into my front pocket, into my wallet, and pull out one folded wad of $120 without looking or taking my wallet out.

• All the rest of my $20s, for drinks and food, just get folded in half and go outside my wallet in my front pocket. I reach in, pull out what I need.

• I'll usually have a wad of $1s in my jacket pocket or whatever... I rarely go up to the stage to tip, so often I don't touch it

I end up in a fair amount of dive clubs. I would be more worried about a low life patron following out to the parking lot when I left than problems with the dancers, but I still won't flash my cash in a club. I usually separate my money in a couple of places, so if I run out of the first stack I know I am down to $200 or whatever. If I've planned ahead, I will usually get 2 or 3 $100 bills beyond what I want to spend and fold them up between cards in my wallet. If I'm having a great night that becomes my ATM. In the really dive clubs, (think deep Washington Park), I never have more than about $250 on me.

I also know what I came with and keep track of what I’ve spent and stick to it. And I don’t flash money around for the same reasons others have stated.

I also suspect that Subraman earned more merit badges than me in Boy Scouts. He’s way more organized than I am.

Only money in my hands are one dollars bills. All big bills stay in the wallet.

There was a time when I would flash cash strategically when I was trying to accomplish something.

Then one day several years ago I was pick pocketed by a dancer. I had flashed my cash to her, not intentionally, when I paid her for LDs earlier in the evening. Later she came to find me and gave me a big ol' bear hug and relieved me of my wad. She was buck naked and I was tipsy, both which threw my off my normal guard. For the life of me I don't know where she put it, but I can guess. From that point on I never flashed cash in a club again.

Now I keep 20s in one pocket and all the smaller bills in another. I reach in and peel a 20 off when I need it and tip with the bills from the smaller pocket. When I am accumulating a large wad in the tip pocket, I may pull that out and use some of it to pay for the next round, but I never pull out the 20s wad.

When I need to count, I wait until no dancers around. If dancers are around, I just go in the bathroom and count - usually in a stall. Flashing in front of dancers seems to be full of downside, much of which has been discussed above.
