I'm grinding out microstakes for a while after cashing out most of my funds.

I guess it's hard to play flopped quads wrong. I figure someone has a king or AA or I'm making nothing off it. I almost egretted pushing on the turn because I think he almost folded, but I figure he was potstuck by then. Check-raises on the turn are always the most terrifying, imo.

Hero checks, Esseker bets $6.50, Hero raises to $23.50, Esseker goes all-in $13

An alternative line is to donk the turn after you get raised on the flop. It can miss value from bluffs (except for people who just don't know how to quit and shove-bluff when you donk the turn, which is awesome) but it will confuse people with middle pair into doing some very bad calls because you took a weird line, and then they end up committed on the river.

Not that I mind your line here, but if you're looking for options, that's one.

Villain clearly does not know about the beluga theorem. So i assume he doesn't know about the yeti theorem either. If he did, i'd love a 3bet on flop.

Apart from that, the most important part of your line is to take a note after the hand that this particular villain plays for stacks in position with TPTK on a dry board. makes it correct to play all kinds of implied odds hands later against him.

As a sidenote, I love the flop donk. Leading out with quads is so sexy that it almost makes me shed a small tear of joy.

Couldn't agree more. The flop donk is a beauty.

you played it right here your opponent made it easy for you though cause he was active he was rolling so you just have to go with thim and at the end its too late to quit even he doubt his king. its much more difficult to play such hands and such flops if the other player isnt active. to get a good hand doesnt always mean a good pot.

In unraised pots, I lead out from the BB/SB on small paired flops all the time, whether I have it or not. I always bet out when I flop the immortal nuts in a multiway pot, including one time in a home game when I bet into four people with a flopped straight flush. In my home game it definitely helped me take down a lot of pots with donk bluffs.
