I had no reads on the player. But when he re-raised me PF i think he had a high pocket pair AA, KK, QQ, JJ or AK like he had. I was calling to hit a set on the flop. I figured I'd check-raise to trap a pocket pair or scare off a potential flush draw.

I need advice on how to play such a scary flop in the future.
