Good move or stupid one?

Poker Strategy Hand Review

I’m in Cutoff. With AKo.
$6 button straddle.
SB raises to $12, Hijack calls, I call, Button raises to $60.
SB calls, Hijack folds, I shove for $174.
Button calls, SB folds.
Was that a decent move?

(Button had KK and I lost. Not as painful to have lost if it was acceptable play.)

It’s not a good call initially IMHO - AKo benefits a lot from getting folds so should raise, but you should end up all in pre-flop against the button here regardless. Shoving is a lot better than calling the $60.
