Thanks beforehand all!
You should avoid posting outcomes of your hand to prevent bias analysis etc.
Reading through your play by play account of the hand at the spot where the villian check min-raises you to $100, I figured it was a set. Why? Because if he cares about his wild image, he'd think exactly: "I'll c/r here as he'll think I'm just a wild horse and won't give me credit for much anything". He doesn't want to c/c on the flop because it would seem like an out of character play. He wants to make sure that he's getting paid for his set.
On such a weak board, I don't mind a call here too and a check back on turn to see how your opponent reacts. I don't like a shove here under most circumstances though. With a shove, you are only getting called by hands that beat you. Even an AT in the hands of an idiot would still get folded most of the time.
