Default That Strange Min-Re-Raise

$4/180 on Stars. Blinds at 15/30.

Folded to MP who limps. Hero (T2800) in hijack (directly to the left of the limper) raises to 120 with red 77. Villain in CO (T3800), who is unknown, MIN-RE-RAISES to 210. Folded to me, I call, and we go heads up to the flop.

Flop(T495): Tc9c9s
Hero bets T300, Villain calls.

Turn(T1095): 4d
Hero bets 450, Villain calls.

River(T1995): 2s
Hero checks. Villain bets T1080. Hero folds.

I think my turn bet might have been spewy, and the only modifications I would make to my line would be to check-fold the turn. What do others think?

Since you replied to my post about stealing with the minreraise, I'll reply to you here. Most of the time in 4/180's at least, villain MEANS it when he reraises preflop. That's why the steal works. I guess he could be on a massively overplayed AK here but you don't really know even after betting the flop and turn, and he views your river check as weakness.
I say check turn, block bet river if turn is checked through. In other words, your hand has some showdown value, try to get there as cheaply as popsicle.

Call for set value preflop, and check/fold this flop.

Would you call a sizeable turn bet?

I play this one like Fiks.

limp and check/fold almost every flop that you miss.
