Preflop
As others have said, this is actually a 25NL hand, and you are more than 200BB deep. You say, that a 4BB open raise is "standard". But at 25NL or higher most regs use around 2,5BB these days. So unless this particular game is very different for whatever reason, your sizing probably stands out to everyone as very large, and if you only do this with premium hands like AK, you are very easy for your opponents to read.

You did not mention his 3-bet size, but in position the 4-bet seem very large as well. You are kind of painting yourself into a corner, where you either lose a lot of money folding to a 5-bet or have to stack off AK, which this deep is probably not going to be profitable. I think, we should use a mix of smaller 4-betting and even sometimes just calling the 3-bet, because we are so deep.

Flop
If you are going to bet at all, it definitely need to be very small like 25% pot or less. He is never folding a pocket pair on a low board like this, and he is also not calling such a large bet with anything, you beat. So its a bet, which literally force him to play well. You also once again paint yourself a corner, where you have no good options left, if he check-jam. If you fold, you just gave him half your stack without even seeing the last two cards, and if you call, you are not getting quite good enough odds, even if you are against a hand like TT-QQ.
