Quads is not a hand you get very often, but if you do it's the most profitable in a multi-way pot with a board that offers a potential draw to a straight or flush. Then you can slow-play and flat call the fish all the way down until they shove and you then reap the rewards (of course if there's a straight flush draw, then I wouldn't be slowplaying LOL ). In the case you describe, you pretty much got all you were going to get out of the hand from the passive player. Not much you can do other than min-bet the whole way and hope he doesn't fold. I'm thinking if he called out of curiosity on the river, he might have also done so on the turn...likely would have folded on the flop, given the paired board at that point. Hard to say for sure, but seems about right to me.
