I'm not sure I fully understand this? I think you are saying that his check after the flop could very easily be a trap and is one of the clues I could have used to fold the hand instead of re-raising him.
When the pot is unraised preflop the opponents (especially the blinds) can have a very wide range of hands, so it is much harder to put someone on a hand or a range of hands.
