Anyway to get any more bets out of this? I thought about just cold-calling the turn so as not to lose anybody... but then obviously decided against it..

I would have bet the flop.

[RISEorFall]

you could always bet the flop. you get called maybe even raised by A high, pocket pairs, people looking to boat up, etc.

they cant give you their money if you dont bet and give them a chance to give it to you.

[Steppin Razor]

Don't check raise the turn. Call and hope SL__72mm comes along. If he doesn't, let CDickplay lead the river and raise him there. You might get a crying call.
I coldn't tell you why CDickplay called your check raise on the turn. You might as well have showed him the K.

Wrong. If you're gonna get a raise in with quads, you have to do it on the turn. Way too many people slow down on the river and if you're looking to checkraise there, too often it will get checked around.

I play this the same way as the OP. I'm gonna check that flop everytime. If it gets checked around, i'll bet the turn.
