Re: Is this why I\'m a mediocre 5/10 SH player?

If there was a third person after me, I would've definitely raised to protect my hand. Heads up, however, I find that most will call the raise and I won't be able to protect.

I think you played it alright. I agree raising the flop does nothing to protect your hand, because no one will fold for 1 SB.
edit: I suppose the merit of raising the flop is that it might get him to fold for 1 BB on the turn or allow you to get a free card.
Dane makes a good point about letting him bluff the turn and river. I think the decision to raise or let him bluff is very dependent on your read of the opponent.
