What is the question here?

I guess this hand is about - look, how good I'm with nuts

Lol sorry. The question was more to do with how preflop was played. My internet wasn't letting me edit my post.

So is just calling pre-flop fine here? My thinking was to keep UTGs range open. However it was a reasonably small bet, so I wasn't sure if a small 3-bet would be a good idea?

I guess this is ok. Not sure you will get many calls from weaker hands if you shove but this is NL2 so I guess you will ♦

About preflop when the initial raiser ( UTG) folds, I think we can be more aggressive. Not sure how much aggr...

I don't like it really. You have the worst relative position, so it is hard to represent a weak hand those times you are actually strong and want calls and overcalls. Hard to win much money in other words. But this requires competent opponents to figure out. Then AKo isn't a huge fan of MW pots if it comes to that.

I would prefer 3betting preflop and calling if he 4bets. They defend really wide vs 3bets, mostly by calling. AKo is a favorite vs their calling range and probably has close to 50% equity vs their 4betting range + we will often have absolute position postflop (I mean, more often than in case we just call) + we will have alot of fold equity postflop (on all streets) in case we miss.

I also prefer 3bet preflop, especially against 2,5x open. Vs 3x open I cold call half AK combos and 3bet the rest.
