Live: 1/2 A high call down

Interesting spot. Not sure if i played this incorrectly, got owned, or was correct in my decision making just got shown a better hand.

I open Ahjc from utg, 220effective in a 8 handed 1/2 live game. Mixed group of players. Some old nits, a couple loose middle aged fish. Im young kid, likely perceived as very aggro.

I raise utg to 8 with ajo, folds to bb ( middle aged elderly man who calls).

Flop 10c5s3h. Bb leads for 10. I call.

Turn 2d. Bb leads for 20. I call.

River 7s. Bb leads for 40. I tank call, BB shows down ako.

Basically, my thought process for each street was as followed. On flop, too weak to fold. Good turns include j,q,k,A. Bb leading on that board texrure into utg raiser makes little sense. I have position, range advantage, etc.

Turn, i pick up gutter. But it is essentially a blank. 46 gets there but i think its unlikely BB leads 46 on the flop. 1/2 players generally play draws slow, i doubt that play is in his range.

River, BB betting three times polarizes the hell out of his range. I just dont think he does this with 10x, even a10 or k10. And i think its unlikely he does with 1010. He could have 33, 55, but players at these limits are often more inclined to play hands slow. Especially when oop against utg raise. 7 only completes 1 2pair combo being 107. But it seems unlikely 107 would be played this way by bb. I was getting 2:1.

Thoughts?

bb said after hand he new i had aq and i would call down. Obviously bullshit.

Any thoughts on jamming river. I would certainly do that for value with jj-aa. I just thought calling was fine in this spot against this ridiculous line taking by villain.
