Default Re: Older men complaining about my cbet.

In the casino I play at, I cbet a much higher % than everyone else. I've noticed that, from even the best players that are say 55+, I am consistently being talked down to whenever I cbet and they are much more likely to cr me or call w not much. Of course, I use this to my advantage but the "social" side of it isn't always pleasant as they go on and on in a harsh tone about how if I was against them that hand they would have called or when I fold to their cr they mock me and say they knew I had overcards. Is their frustration just because I take them out of their comfort zone? I find it highly peculiar.

Wait long to post?

This seems more like a strategy question than a psychology question. If you're playing at a casino with other regulars, sure you want to maintain a good atmosphere. But changing your game to create this is not the right approach.

Regarding the guys who complain, just be pleasant and don't take things personally while you continue to play the best poker you can.

Regarding their adjustments, this is pretty straight-forward stuff here. If they bluff a lot when they sense weakness, tighten up and don't c-bet/bluff as much. If they just talk the talk but don't like to commit their chips, let them talk and keep c-betting more. I feel like all of this is basic stuff though.
