Hero raises to $0.15, MP raises to $0.44, 4 folds, Hero raises to $1.30, MP calls $0.86

Flop: ($2.67) A 7 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $1.70, Hero folds

Results:

$2.67 pot ($0.11 rake)
Final Board: A 7 2
Hero mucked K K and lost (-$1.30 net)
MP mucked and won $2.56 ($1.26 net)

Is the fold too weak?
Should I cb the flop?
Villain is Unknown: I would give him this 3bet calling range:

Spoiler

He hits about 48% of the time.
When I cbet about 1/2 pot I need arround 30% Fold Equity.
I guess I could have cbet here and hope to take it down on the flop.

Or should I play check/call?
I guess he would see my check as weakness and bet more with Ax Hands. The problem with that is that it would turn out to a guessing game.

Hi,

on this flop the default is a check/call one street. we should not bet this flop because we never have 2-3 streets of value.

check folding is too weak

Thanks
