Pit counts discard tray?

You sit down at a SD game with one player already there. Unfortunately two other players join but you play anyways. In the first few shuffles the count goes high and you bet accordingly (5 units). You are up 20 units in your first 5 minutes. The pit boss comes over and counts down the discard tray, then eyeballs my table from the craps game next door.
Q. What to do?
Being new to this, I ordered a drink; flat bet for 10 minutes and hit the door.

Floormen going through the discards in pitch games is fairly common. Sometimes they do it just to watch for a reaction from the players, hoping to make a counter. Unless you are positive that you are made, next time you may want to play a little longer before leaving. Floorman could well station himself wanting you to know you were being watched, just to get your reaction as a confirmation of his suspicion. If you are sure you are made, leave asap to prevent a photo op or a parade of pit personel getting a good look. Don't stop to cash in chips, just leave.

I would never leave that quickly on my first play in that casino, if that was the case. Just order a drink, light up a cigarette, kick back, and smile! And reduce your spread for awhile. Of course, after an hour or so, I would leave no matter what the win or loss was. Or if I was up 30 or more units, I might leave immediately. But just to let a would-be threatening employee blow me out of there, no way.

I once had a dealer at the horseshoe say to me: "I know what you are doing, you count the cards".. I said right back to him, "Yeah, I keep track of the Aces so I know whether or not there's any blackjacks left in the deck..SO WHAT?" He never answered, I played for at least one-half hour longer and left a winner with no further hassles. And some other guy at the table gave me a high five as I stood up and left. And I have played there literally for decades since then!

Nearly everybody thinks they they "count" something these days. So What????

If some wannabe tough guy stares at me, I stare right back at him, with a cute little smile, if I can just muster it up, or at least a blank, unwavering look. If you can arch your eyebrows and act gay, even better! I do NOT look away (I just stop counting, flat bet, and stare). Then they either get bored with this trite little game, or they back you off (very rare). Do not let them intimidate you, but also do not respond with some sort of macho he-man look - just look at him/her as if they fascinate you!

Hey I know this sounds corny, but it has worked for me, and others I know, many times!
