Hmmm....tough one. Still though, I highly doubt he can check raise you with absolute junk. I think there is maybe 50% chance that you need a boat, or the board to pair and not make his full house. That, factored in with the 40% chance that you might be a 2 - 1 favorite or so and 10% chance or so that he's dead to two outs [also an overpair], means he has maybe 55 - 60% chance of having the best hand by the river, which I guess justifies the call here, as there's about 1500 in the pot, and only 425 to call [even if you think the chances of him being the huge favorite is 60% or maybe even as high as 70% the math approximately justifies the call, so unless you really think there's an 80% chance or better he flopped a set or straight...].

Horrible flop for Aces. With his CR he almost certainly has made his set, two pair or flopped the straight. The only other hand I can see CRing here is A9, protecting against the draw.

If he bluffed at it, so you got outplayed once...dont steam if he turns over bottom pair!

As Daniel said in his "Conditional Probability" article in CardPlayer, poker math (what I would call "first level math") isnt enough, you need to look at the Conditional Probabilities ("second level math") based on the action up to that point.
