I've been in a situation like this one. He was one of those "trying to play good" type of players. He donked the flop to "protect his overpair" (it was some raggedy flop and he had something like 88), but then felt he should call the flop raise because of pot odds. He hit his set on the turn on a flush card and then felt he needed to check-raise because that's what you should do when you turn a set in a big pot (and I don't even think that it was the wrong play). All of the disappointment, concern, and muttering was absolutely genuine and not a reverse tell.
So although those live reads are often pretty solid, they're not 100% and you shouldn't do something drastic like fold a two-card flush in a big pot based on them. Just get to showdown when you have a big hand in a big pot and if you lose be glad that his acting prevented you from losing more.

Any comments on the play on the earlier streets?
This one seems pretty straightforward. Well played.
