I think you should move down man. No offense, but you can't win with such a fundamental misunderstanding of how to bet size postflop.

I think the original poster's analysis of the hand is evidence enough that he is plenty capable of playing at this level.

The small bet, however, is a mistake, and here's why: Someone on a draw or with a mediocre hand will call a small bet, but someone that calls a pot sized bet is telling you that they really have something. So spending a little more money on the flop bet buys you the information that keeps you from losing your whole stack later on.
