Default I\'m the first one to admit this is a crazy call

Villain has been playing TERRIBLY, I have seen him chase a gutshot, and bluff a huge amount on river only to get called by top pair. I have seen him value bet with slightly marginal holdings(raised like 500 chips into a 3k chip pot with bottom 2 pair, even though the other guy could have stacked him(there was a 4 straight on the board) but the other guy didn't have straight, but the fact that he reopened the betting made me think donk) So on to the hand, I went with my instincts on this, is this just a horrible horrible call, or one you can occasionally make against a donk?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP2 (t22390)
MP3 (t11335)
CO (t3200)
Button (t7220)
Hero (t16640)
BB (t2650)
UTG (t13555)
UTG+1 (t4550)
MP1 :#A500AF(Villain)/ (t13340)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t150, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

I almost always complete with 100xBB, mistake?

Flop: (t750) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, BB folds, UTG folds, Villain calls t300, MP3 folds.

I meant to bet 450 but my hands were cold, and I like must have missed the last click but I went to the bet button before my eyes caught it.

Turn: (t1350) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>, Villain calls t600.

This turn card doesn't scare me as much as others, so I bet into him HU.

River: (t2550) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villain bets t12290 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t12290.

Pretty good card for my hand, and the only way I will get much out of this particular donk will be to check and let him bluff at it. I just felt this was a bluff right away, so I thought for about 10 seconds and called mistake?

Final Pot: t27130
