Counting your cash at the strip club...

A few weeks ago ldk82 made a discussion about flashing $100 to a dancer to get a dance or more from her. Now i've never actually done that, the whole show a girl some money and and then say something like there's more of that where that came from if she wants some. In fact since i only bring cash to a club and i try to bring at least as much as i might spend and not run out and use the rip off of an ATM or that funny money that some clubs sell when you use credit, i usually have a decent sized wad of cash in my pockets and wallet. Which occasionally needs to get reorganized or counted. That and sometimes in the middle of a visit, i wonder how many dances i have left or even a possible room if a particular girl interests me.
So i'll usually surreptitiously count my larger bills in my wallet, usually under the table counting the number of twenties and then doing the math in my head and keeping track of any larger bills (usually not that many). The singles (in a separate pocket) i don't bother counting them, unless there's only a few left at which point i might get some more. Now the 5s and 10s i also have in a separate stash/pocket or sometimes with the singles, as my wallet doesn't have enough room to comfortably fit all the bills. I usually use this for drinks and tips or to make change/get singles and sometimes i have to use this stash for dances (sometimes the one and done's) or VIPs when i'm burning through my larger bills. This stash (maybe around $100 if that) i'll just openly count and organize rather nonchalantly. Anyway, long story shorter, it's usually when i'm fiddling with this stash, that a usually thirstier girl that i usually have no interest in dancing with will feel free to come up to me and ask for company. So some 5s and 10s got a girl's interest or led her to believe i might be a dance buying PL? Thought that was interesting. Maybe i've been doing it wrong and playing with the wrong stash, but i'd rather not advertise how much money i've brought to the SC.

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