The only reason to check behind the flop is to play a smaller pot in case you somehow flopped trips on him. But if this is his plan then raising the turn doesn't follow through with that. If controlling the pot size was his main concern then he'd just call the turn and probably just call or bet when checked to on the river.
It's possible he flopped a monster and slow played you. I'm sure his range is huge for opening from the CO, so he can have hands with 3s in them. I still think it's more likely that he puts you on a hand less than trips and figures you can't call.

Exactly his flop check is all about controlling pot size with his weak hand. If he has A8, raising the turn is dumb. He would call and call a small bet on the river. The only reason for him to raie the turn is if he has a mega monster or is trying to bluff/semi bluff you.
Very nice post.
