    Checks Play, calling it in

    So I have played at a casino recently where I was spreading 1-10. My big bet is $100 and I get the "checks play" thing. When they say this, the pit boss goes to the phone, pushes a button, and quickly tells whoever is on the other line my spot at the table and my bet. This tells me that they routinely let surveillance know when someone is betting $100.

    Me no like this.

    I left the table after I showed my big bet twice in a row. What would you do in this circumstance? I was thinking about either pulling my bet down to $90 or always leaving after my big bet. Note: I play rated.
    This is DD by the way (though they do this too on 6 deck). 75% pen, DOA, DAS, NRSA, late surrender.
    I haven't had a problem yet but have been kicking their butts for a while now. I have been playing there for over a year, but I spotted the pit boss as he just finished writing (or perhaps reading) some notes about me on their screen (you can see the screen from outside). I could be wrong on the notes though. There may be notes for everybody for all I know and maybe they don't have anything to do with play.

    Regardless, I was thinking of not playing there for a while. It's hard not to though, I can't find rules and penetration better than this anywhere. Even on their 6D they cut off only 3/4 of a deck!
