you have to get your whole stack in there every time they will let you.

yeah, push as much in as you can get! good shot you are getting 3/4 here. I prob would have led the flop as well, but that's just a personal preference

I had been leading the flop quite a bit in this type of situation so I was just mixing it up a bit. I've also been experimenting with smaller than pot-bets against more than one villain, which is why I led for .10 on the turn.The other thing I didn't consider at the time is that BB only has about $1.50 left behind, so if he ends up quartering me I could still end up taking most or all of the side pot against SB. Is that an additional worthwhile reason to pot-raise here?

absolutely! although I wouldn't need much of a reason other than I have the nut lo along with a higher str8. I just think you are getting 3/4 much much much more often than you are getting 1/4ed here

I did make a raise on the end and unfortunately I did get quartered. I've been getting quartered at least once/session lately so I've decided to look at such hands to figure out if I'm doing anything wrong or if it's just bad luck.
