How would you play this? I'm sure I looked like a retard betting 50 twice into the side pot, but I wanted atleast a little bit of value. Plus, I had no idea what to do here. Please help hahaha

I might try checking the flop, making a small bet on the turn, and overbetting the pot so it looks like a steal on the river. But I dunno, maybe if you pushed he would've called, hell its only play money.

ahmen lol 
I was wondering more on the etiquette of the hand (1 other player is all in). Should I just play it like a normal hand, since I know I've got the allin hand beat anyways?

No, in this situation bet. You should check it down if you have a marginal hand, but Kings full is nowhere near a marginal hand.

i think more important than your hand is the side pot,
in this case main pot was very small and u already had money in side pot
so in this case i think u should defiently play your hand and not let other guy catch up no matter how stong your hand is

Yes, only check it down when your hand is marginal and might not beat the all-in.

i think the fact that the one guy was all-in is almost completely unimportant...he cant even cover the big blind, and its very early in the tournament....its not like anybody is gonna slow play in order to knock him out...so i'd just play it normally....check the flop...prolly would've bet about 100 on the turn...then ~250(?) on the river...the only time i would bet less is if i thought the dude was exceptionally rocky...too bad he didnt have AJ, AQ or AA...that woulda been grand....
