Irishboy

I know this is a really simple hand, but it's one I have trouble dealing with.
Opponent here is a 12/4. Tight and doesn't raise many hands pre-flop.

Preflop: Irishboy is BB with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Irishboy calls.
Flop: (4.66 SB) 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Irishboy checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Irishboy folds.
Final Pot: 2.83 BB
The pot is small so why fight for it.
On the other hand, this guy is on autobet when I check the flop. No way did that flop hit him...how can I let him get away with this!
I should have check-raised the flop or just bet out.
No dummy, you don't want to check-raise in a 2 BB pot.
I don't have the odds to play it like a draw. Any ace probably has me dominated. Any pair is ahead. Just fold.
But, if I'm just going to play fit or fold in this situation...then it couldn't possibly be +EV to call his raise in the BB. If it's fit or fold then fold the damn thing pre-flop.
But it's too much hand to fold pre-flop.
HELP!!!
