Yea this turned out pretty horribly. I think I like a call to assess the turn as the best line possible to continue the hand. When he called my flop re-re-re-raise, I really didn't think he had such a shitty hand and so slowed down on the turn.
I guess what this can show about the minraise is that its meaning depends on the player's tendencies. Most times it means strength, but it shouldn't always slow you down.
Thanks to all who replied for their input.
