This one is really sick. Thought I was trapping the player UTG he/she got a full house on the flop. I got quads and the river screwed me. See the picture.
Anyone would play this hand different?? My guess is that the money should go in on every street.

this is something like destiny. no matter how you play this hand (allin or check to the river), the outcome will always be to 100% the same - at end both will be allin.

Fold preflop. You dont get great implied odds on the UTG raiser (only like 14 to 1,to play a pocket profitably you need about 20 to 1,some argue with 15 to 1,always opponent dependent of course). Another bad thing is that the BB is fairly short so he will probably shove relativly light. If BB was deeper you could argue that he will flat call alot increasing your implied odds massivly,however he will usually never flat call here,he will either fold or shove.
As played,definitely raise turn. You have to build a pot to set up a river bet that will give you a good amount of value. By just calling his min bet the pot is still super small compared to your stacks,so I would probably raise to 2.5-3K here hoping he has a Q. If he doesnt have anything you wont get extra value on the river either way,so there is nothing wrong with raising.
As played there is obv. nothing you can do about this beat,just some advice
