PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: $1.02 (VPIP: 41.38, PFR: 17.24, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 30)
Hero (BB): $2.16
UTG: $1.97 (VPIP: 9.64, PFR: 7.23, 3Bet Preflop: 6.67, Hands: 88)
MP: $2.13 (VPIP: 11.11, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
CO: $2.38 (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)
BTN: $2.14 (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 13.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 30)

SB posts SB $0.01, Hero posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has A♣ K♠

fold, fold, CO raises to $0.06, fold, SB calls $0.05, Hero calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.18, 3 players) 7♦ 7♣ 9♥
SB checks, Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: ($0.18, 3 players) K♥
SB checks, Hero bets $0.12, CO calls $0.12, SB calls $0.12

River: ($0.54, 3 players) 4♠
SB checks, Hero bets $0.39, CO calls $0.39, SB calls $0.39

Question: Is a 3 Bet better than calling from BB with AKo with 1 raise and 1 call ?

My thoughts: Looking back on this hand I would definitely 3 bet pre flop and try and get it HU post flop. I think calls should be reserved for suited connectors and maybe AQo, AJo but AKo should definitely be a 3 bet

Thoughts?

Yes. You have a raise for pure value, doesn't matter if they call or fold.

Easy 3bet preflop. I would make it somewhere around 0.25 (3.5x CO raise + SB call amount).

Postflop is how I would have played it.

Edit: I believe that an acceptable 3bet range VS CO is around 5% (TT, AJs, KQs, AQo).

Definitely raise this hand for value. I would prefer to play this hand against fewer opponents, as your chances of winning decrease with more people in the pot. Hence 3-betting is the optimal play here.

It's not big of a sin to overcall but when it's suited and when you have position. AKs plays very well mw

We definitely squeeze for value here.

It is a sin to overbet when you miss a perfect chance to put a pressure and squeeze for value. This hand is in top 3% of hands and should be squeezed.

Overcall. In this particular case it is a sin. CO+SB... Good wide ranges...

I didnt say that in this particular case it's not a sin. I said when is good to overcall with AK. Read carefully.

You should read carefully. After I wrote that in this particular case it is a sin, you said it is not. It is a sin not to attack those wide ranges.
There are rare cases that you would like to overcall.

Postflop ok. Not squeezing this is bad.

In these positions it is a sin not to squeeze, man. Every aspect is crying for a squeeze. You have late positions, CO is tight, SB is more loose - THIS IS A SQUEZE ALL DAY LONG! No need to discuss it more. :)

Of course we raise with both AKs and AKo for value. The only difference is that with AKs we don't really mind that much if a bunch of people call, whereas for AKo we want it heads up. Not raising AKs is just bad.
