If you want to fold to a raise, bet the turn and do it there. As played, I call. Sounds to me like this guy would have bet the turn had he made a lower flush, I'm guessing he backed into some two pair or something or has Ax/Kx [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Or maybe he has nothing and is drunk.

Flop was good, next time bet the turn and if he comes over the top probably fold. If he just calls and the river blanks I'd check if you think he'll bluff at it, and bet if he's passive.

I don't know how to interpret his talk about the hand, like you I never "fish for a tell" so I would have to rely on how the hand was played out and my reads on the villian. Which is something I think you should focus on also since you rarely go fishing and could possibly misinterpret something he says purely from lack of experience. Just my two cents, not meant to be a putdown.
