Hand Review

This will be a good spot for a healthy raise with AKs. Especially out of position you can easy make it like 10bb.
If you think they could call with weaker a shove seems reasonable on NL2 as well. Than you don't have a tough spot post-flop. Off course if you get called you deal with a heavy variance situation.

Yes if I get called that is true which is why I cashed out and it worked.
