How could I have played this (quad kings)

This was a freeroll, just wondering how you'd play it out in real life.

Only "read" (if you can get those on freeroll haha), was that Besteder would always min-bet with nothing.

I don't think you played it poorly if villain min-bets with nothing, and thats precisely what he was doing. If he min-bets with nothin, you would have gotten no value with a bigger raise. If villain sometimes min-bets with a big hand and sometimes with nothin, I probably raise the flop there. Otherwise well-played.
