Default UB $5 Turbo tourney OOP with bottom pair

Still pretty far from the money, so I think evaluating this hand on chipEV alone is probably the best idea.

We're ten handed, with blinds at A 100/SB 500/BB 1000
In this hand, the average stack in the tournament is right around 10k.
Stack sizes:
MP 13k
Hero 10k
PREFLOP: (2500)
Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Folded to MP who opens to 2000, folded to hero who calls
<font color="red"> I feel this is a standard call, as I'm just getting too good of pot odds to release my hand at this point with the $100 ante. In fact I'll always at least call with any two cards here, regardless of the level or my chip stack.</font>

Flop: (5500)

I have 9k left and my opponent has me slightly covered. My only read on my opponent is that he seems tight (a few hands ago he doubled up when I open raised from MP with AJo, he reraised all in with AKo, I called getting about 2-1 and his hand held up).

My thought process:
If I check or bet a little he might push with a lot of hands I'm beating badly (like AK or AQ). Obviously I would like to get all his money in the middle with those hands, but I also am not happy if he checks behind (will any player check behind here frequently with a hand I'm beating?) So maybe this is simply a straightforward checkraise all in. All thoughts are appreciated, thanks. My apologies if this is totally standard.
