Here's a better idea: Have him explain why it's a check-fold. Think about the following:

* What sorts of hands peel this flop?
* How many of those hands improve with the ace?
* How many of those hands benefit from you checking?

* Any flopped pair, Any pocket, An Ace peels here.
* Less than the majority.
* More than the majority.

Bet. How do we proceed if he calls, and the river is a J or Q or an under card ?

I'm betting the turn (and folding to a raise). If called down to the river, I'm check/calling, hoping to induce a bluff from his busted straight or flush draw.
