Is there ever another line to take in a position like this? I figured that the small blind would push light against a button raise so i thought AK wouldn't be much worse than 50/50, but with the button having raised is there any way to ever fold or call this rather than re-push?

I think shove is fine.

I like how you played it as well. 46 BBs is a lot when getting it in pre with a drawing hand, but as you said yourself, then you are beating SB's range. At the same time I dont really see any reason to call for more than half your stack, might as well get it in if you wanna play.

I would also shove. You are doing very well against both ranges.

The SB seems pretty tight with 3betting. It’s his first 3bet in 65 hands, but I would re-shove as well against him with AKo.
