Re: hand protection in practice
The combination here of not-enough-outs to make your hand with spending 2 bets on this flop and not-many-hands that will fold for 2 cold make me prefer a call ("peel") here much more than a checkraise. Hands like A5 aren't folding the flop for two bets, and even if they were, vs. this particular player you don't have enough outs to be paying 2 bets on your investment, given that you are out of position.
I'd call here and see what develops on the turn. I'm usually checkfolding the turn.
