For future hand histories try to include any extra info that you think may be useful - your image, villains image & tendencies, are they aggro or passive, loose or tight, any history between you, literally anything that you've picked up on.

Anyways...

Just fold pre, you should almost never be overlimping this far into a tournament and definitely not <20bbs deep

As played though I could go either way on the IP flop stab depending on vill tendencies, but if I do I'm stabbing a bit bigger. You're done with the hand after he calls, so the turn checkback is fine.

River - fold. your hand is pretty much a bluff catcher here, Qx/Kx/low Ax would be more likely to check/call river and you're behind every Ax... He needs to be bluffing 25% just to make the call +cEV and way more than that for it to be +tEV and it's just not likely here. In general you should be cautious when a passive player leads the river, they almost always have it.

jam it or fold it preflop.

The board on the flop isn't really a very good one to stab at, it can give a lot of pairs and straight draw type hands, so it's a little too wet to be betting into.

river we're kinda stuck, so i understand the call, however it stems from making two bad decisions preflop and on the flop imo.

Fold preflop, on 13bb you don't have the stack to be limping anything really from MP let alone a weak ace.

Betting 1/3rd pot on the flop is bad, your sizing allows a lot of hands to call 1 street, you have no equity, and the board has 2 big cards. Just check.

As played I'm folding the river.
