I also love playing AXs for the flush draw possibility. The problem comes when you hit the Ace with a weak kicker. Since BB only bet 13 BB, I would have called the River. I would have likely folded for 20 to 25 BB. I would definitely fold for over 25 BB. I absolutely love the way you played this hand. It is an example of why I love to limp. If you had raised preflop, you would have the more uncomfortable choice of calling a much larger River bet with your top pair, weak kicker.

Preflop this is a raise.
On the flop I think raising would be good. Nut flush + gutter is fine to raise, especially IP and makes your life easier.
As played this is tough. He doesn't raise pre so doesn't rep better Aces. I think calling/folding is close.
You put yourself into this situation by not raising pre.

Izo this preflop, if do not want to play multiway pot and weird spots like this one.
Call or fold it depends of villiain, if he is aggro call, if he is passive fold...

I totally agree with kata.
If you are going to play this hand you Will have to raise pre. Also, with this flop, you would have to cbet or, as played, raise.

If you limp a hand like this one (and that's why limpimg is not a good idea), you want to play MW pot and hit your flush (or other rare nut hand like quads). You don't hit is, so you fold.
