Default AKs HU

I was either tied or beaten by a high pair, but I had backdoors and two overcards on the flop and a flush draw on the turn. So a call seemed fine on those streets.

On the river there was 8.75 in the pot that I had a chance of splitting if he also had AK and was betting it.

These beat me.

6 JJ, 6 QQ, 3 KK, 3 AA = 18 hands

9 AK are a tie.

So for a dollar, a call seemed at least reasonable call.

Question #1

Was this river call OK?

Question #2

Should I have raised somewhere along the line to try to get a free river or at least find out where I was? If so, when?
