His reasoning: I thought he'd at least bet the ace, nevermind the other free cards. How would you play these...other than the fact they were raised from the BB?

I'd definetly check the flop, and hope that my opponent stabs at the pot, if not, your hand is not vulnerable to a free card. I may even check the turn, since the 2 probably did nothing for my opponent. I think you can reasonably assume that your opponent doesn't have a 10 as he would have probably bet it somewhere along the way since his hand is so vulnerable. The ace either made your opponent a nice second best hand, or made his hand very easy to fold if you now bet. Nevertheless, I'd still take a stab on the river, maybe 2/3 pot and hope for a crying call with a weak ace/low PP or have him come over the top of me with a medium ace.

Only my opinion,
