One of the reasons to check behind is that if an ace, king, queen, or jack hits you would have a bet.
But in this example, your opponent bet when the king hit instead of letting you bet. I think the answer here is that you need to consider a lot of things:
1. This looks like a card that you would often bet. So why did your opponent bet into you?
2. Did your flop check now induce your opponent to bluff? A small percentage of players can't help themselves when you make a flop check like this.
3. How aggressive is your opponent anyway?
I think if the answers to these questions are positive in your favor, you don't fold (and may even raise).
