Agreed, a call is a little passive. Folding pre-flop wouldn't have been a particularly bad play either. It depends how well you back yourself to play fairly marginal hands like K10. Personally I'd probably lay it down, I don't like the hand. Would much rather play a J10 in position.

An important thing to note is that if someone hits trips on the flop, and there are no obvious flush/straight draws, most people will not bet. They will check that flop, even weak players will realize they need to keep others in the pot and try to build it, and generally they will follow this advice 8/10 times I've noticed. So his bet actually makes me think he doesn't have that queen and I'd put that lower down on the possible hands he could have.

I'd make a continuation bet on the flop with a queen. It's not a sign of strength, because I
always make the continuation bet, and I make sure they know. Trips aren't strong enough to slow-play against two opponents unless the board is incredibly dry, as the turn card rather demonstrates. But everyone does it anyway, so your point definitely still stands. It's when ultra-aggressive opponents slow down that you have to be careful.

He keeps betting, he has something. Raise him. If he had a queen, you have him beat. If he has that last king, you are going to pay him off anyway. So get your money in, and likely he will call you if he has a queen (but I don't think he has a queen, that bet on the flop leads me to believe that pretty strongly).

Disagree here. Second nuts (the only hand that has you beat now is QQ, and if that's what he has, he's cleaning you out regardless)
is strong enough to slow-play in position. Out of position it doesn't make much sense, but in position you're giving the maniac another chance to hang himself come the river.

River Qs.
Go all in. No doubt. I highly doubt he has a queen, and if he has a king with a better kicker you'll split the pot since the kicker is now irrelevant. If he does have a queen, well he hid it well and you can't really do much about quads.

The one card you didn't want to see. But it's still an easy all-in. If he has the Queen then fine, but you're soooo far ahead of his range, and there's already a lot of money in the pot. You don't really have a choice at this stage.
From the fact that you posted this particular hand I'm guessing he turned over a Queen. If that's the case, it's nothing to worry about. Full-house against Quads from a particularly aggressive player is just one of those things you can't do anything about. You're getting cleaned out regardless of how you play that ****.
