questionable flop play by probable 2+2er

[balkii]

lost my temper tonight and got into it at the tables with a probable 2+2er (if you are reading this - sorry, and no hard feelings)

anyways heres a hand we disagreed on.

2+2er has K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG and raises. 46/26/2.5 3-bets, 63/3/.6 calls in the BB. 2p2er calls.

flop A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked to UTG who bets, BB calls, 2p2er CECKRAISE?

I think this is a pretty bad raise for obvious reaons. zero chance of winning immediately, not strong enough to raise for value.... he defended his play. am I missing something?
