Did I do this right? First O8 Hand Post

I don't really have reads...this table hasn't been raising much pre flop but I am in the big blind and have a 3-4 so i figured why not?? I got a perfect flop for what I had.

My question concerns the turn and river play. If I fear I am being quartered, or I know I only really have a shot at the low (Full house is possibility, even if a wheel were to hit on the river) is it stupid to cap the pot? Do I lose money to the High winner because of the possibility of being quartered?

I don't know how far to take nut lows in this game. Nut highs, cap every time, yeah. But what do I do with a nut low??
