Table Talk??

WEll i have played a few times since my last post, alas not much success to chat about a few interesting points though....

I played a $6turbo, was playing fairly tight, but i was getting cards and i was using them well i was chip leader with about 4k... then this

early position i get AQ suited so i raise 3xbb think i got 2 callers, the 2nd chip leader and a small stack
flop: Q!! 10 i think and a rag,think there were 2 clubs, i didn't have a club
so i think i doing ok here so i check hoping for a bet so i can reraise
well the 2nd chip leader bets big! like 3k or something, i can't remember exactly the amounts or if it happened spot on like this .. the small stack goes all in so i sit there thinking what to do
when the 2nd chip leader starts chatting in the box,
he says: i don't wanna mess with you poke, leave this one
now what am i to think from this??
could he be trying to bluff me out pot with chat??
i say: u got a flush draw?
he says: i got a monster
so the time starts ticking down and i decide to call
he has QQ small stack has crap, no help and i am as good as out the game!
i go all in shortly after but no luck and out in 5th when i was cruising to at least a 3rd!!

so what can i learn from this? does anyone else have any thoughts about people chatting??

my thoughts were why would he be trying get me out hand?? why such a big bet? surely over betting like that could be a bluff? now he trying talk me out hand which again could work with his bluff?
when he says he got a monster i think surely he want me in hand then to get my chips??
so with that in mind i called

so what do you think?
was he just being nice and trying to save me? was he using reverse psychology acting like he didn't want me in there? which i duely did!!

interestingly, had he not said anything or if i had ignored his chat, i have to say i prob would have figured his large bet as possible a bluff but too big to call and folded, he could have had 2 pair, a str8 draw a flush draw or some combination, all very scary
