Straight on Paired Limped Board, Gets Ugly

As the poker chip leader of my table in a MTT, I chose to limp with KQ on the button. There is one mid-position limper, myself, and both blinds that see the flop. It comes As-Ac-Jh rainbow. Everyone checks and I check my draw. I think it’s possible for the poker online limper to have an ace, but not likely AJ. The turn is 10d, keeping the board rainbow. I get my straight. The big blind bets 430, the limper calls, I call and the SB folds. I just call here to try and keep this casino pot small. I’m likely against trip aces with a weak kicker. From the limper and the BB could be trying to bluff this scary board. The river is 9c. The BB bets again, and the limper raises. I can’t really put either on a boat here, having limped and just checked form the blinds. I call and then both players go all-in. I stubbornly call and they both show A-9 for a rivered boat. BB had A-9 hearts and the limper had A-9 diamonds http://cakepoker.com/en/HandHistory/Default.aspx?Hand=xsXBzMPNzcLCxcTExMLMw4jDzMHBxcY%3dThis is the last time I ever call a weak un playable hand and go all in risking all of my chips for nothing in the end!
