Preflop I don't like cold call 3bet on BB. I prefer fold or 4bet.
Postflop if You cold call I check on the flop no donkbet with small size.

The only true mistake I see is not playing with a 100BB stack β€” unless you're deliberately playing some form of mid-stack strategy.
Assuming a big stack strategy rule #1 is: 100BB minimum, and use auto-top-up when available.

However I'm with aleasy77 all the way on this one.
Pre-flop it is 4Bet or fold. With your short stack, fold equity is reduced. If you 4Bet, you might as well shove, since a 3x 4Bet commits around half your stack.
As played, though, you flop a very strong hand, and the open-raiser checks β€” attack the check. The pot is almost half your stack, so you really should never fold to any raise. If you bet 1/2 pot, and get shoved on, you're still calling.

The reason for not having 100bb is because I didn’t have more at the time πŸ˜… calling the 3bet is because I’m trying to minimize losses by seeing the flop first as the villain was a TAG with vpip of 25 so I was putting him in a strong hand. Stronger than mine but i still wanted to see the flop with JAs. They usually have high pairs when they bet so strong so I was thinking that if I hit I could get paid which I did, but yeah, maybe it was a little risky.

What do you think after the information above?

Pre-flop I would shove or fold with you're stack size.
As played it would be better to bet 1/3 pot flop and shove turn.
Now you're bet is almost a check. Turn play is pretty standard, but I would shove or call against villains bet.

Cheers,
