So I am at the local casino where I play 3/4 nights a weak at a lower limit full ring game. From playing a lot I tend to run into some of the same locals and they typically recognize me b/c I am the only 21 yr old in the room amongst 60 yr old retirees. Anyway, I am seated at a table with two women I have played against in the past who are obviously good friends. Last time we played I won about 30BB at the table, mostly coming from both of them as they are prototypical calling stations. Well, as I am stiing down (seat 3) the women (seat 7 and 9) begin to tell the table that they have seen me before and that I am a good player. They say how I busted both of them last time and to "watch of for him." At first I laugh and say hello, however as the night goes on I cannot get paid off for shit. Also, the 2/3 other players who think they can play are definitely gunning for me. At first I cannot understand, does everyone have a good read? Am I playing that poorly? Then I realize it. As the original 9 players as sat with all start to leave and nine new dummies filter in I am turning much more of a profit. I really believe it stemmed from these two women "calling me out" to the entire table. Do I have a valid grief, do I have a right to ask for a table change? What does everyone feel is the best way to deal with this? I make my money off of unsuspecting amateurs who really have little idea that there is strategy involved.
Thanks for any advice

You're able to ask for a table change no matter what, aren't you? You don't have to have a reason. Sounds like it would have been a good idea ...

Tell the floor guy you want a table change, and pay attention when another seat at the same limit table comes open to make sure the floor guy doesn't forget. I've had to remind floorpeople numerous times to get my change done.
No, you need no reason to change tables.

Table and Seat change as much as you'd like. If you're paying the rake, it's your right. Don't even need to give a reason.
Also, an idea to try, is to use that table image to your advantage. Any time you can anticipate what your opponent may do, (Fold to a turn check/raise, check when you want a free card, bluff, etc.) you can use that information to help you out. If the whole table thinks you're a pro, (And if you were, you wouldn't be playing 2/4 now would you? ) they may tend to believe you more when you get aggressive, so that means bluff more.  Once you get busted a few times trying to fake a flopped flush by showing Q high, your image will turn from 'pro' to 'sucker', and you'll get your action back and paid off more. Mix it up, don't let em figure you out.
And if that doesn't work, request a table change.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

Yeah...failing a table change, I'd just turn on the lagg until they weren't scared of me anymore. Might be a little costly, but will probably get the job done

The real question is can you beat the rake at low limit live hold'em?
I would definitely request a table change and when I leave I might ask one of the ladies if I could ask her a question(away from the table). Then tell her very politely to shut the fuck up or her poodle "Fluffy" will come up missing tomorrow and will soon be hanging on her front porch by the crochet yarn she used to make that ugly fucking sweater. Er, maybe just mention that you wish she wouldn't comment on your play to everyone at the table. Good luck.

It might be +EV in that spot to make some ridiculous play like raising from middle position with 84 offsuit and showing it. People will remember that more than what a couple women say I think.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
