Am I always dead in this spot or can I call down with AK high on the river.
I played tight most of this session, which isn’t my usual style. I am playing .20/50/1 with about $105 to start the hand. In the UTG spot I opened to $3 with AdKh and LJ 3 bet me to $12. It folded around to me and I called. The flop was 10c4h3d and I checked. He bet $17 and I called. The turn was 10s and we both check. The river is 10d, I checked and he jams for about $50. I stall and think an over pair would have kept betting the turn and he may have the same hand as me or occasionally AQ so I called. I was way wrong as he had JJ. Am I always dead in this spot and should I had just 4 bet pre and flip or do I fold the flop.

4bet pre.
Fold flop.
Fold river.
Also don't post results immediately, people might be biased/results oriented after seeing it.
When you 4bet it's not always a flip, they can just flat or fold. When they do get it in, it's polarized range AK+/QQ+ and some random spazz.
You also have to realize you don't always 4bet AK+/QQ+, sometimes you 4bet lighter ranges especially if villain is hyper aggro with 3bets.
You’re almost always behind here. UTG 3-bet ranges at these stakes are weighted to JJ+, QQ+, sometimes AK. Your read on overpairs is reasonable, but calling this river with AK is usually wrong. Fold the river.
You only call OTR when you know you’re ahead. You can call OTF or OTT with a hope to improve, based on odds. But OTR you only call when you are better, if you didn’t get better up to this point, you fold. Maybe calling with 99 could be justified here but no. With AQ or AK you need to board a Q, K or A to justify such a hero all. Otherwise you’re just a calling station that cannot fold a hand that was “good” pre but now it’s worthless
