Not too long ago I was in a situation where I felt I was being watched. I had to sneak the chips out of my pocket and put it back on the table.

I had a situation in Atlantic City where I left a table and 20 minutes later the dealer called me and asked if I had any chips in my pocket. I said yes and went in to show him there was some greens and reds from the crap table. I always leave chips in my pocket. the ones I don't return are kept separate of course
