Question here is not about this hand specifically but about these kind of hands in general early in the sng. Is it profitable to call like 69s, T8s, QTo and so on with almost 1 to 5 pot odds and chech/fold if I dont hit? Longer time ago when there were no antes in play on pokerstars sngs this was definitely not the case, but now with antes it seems like a good play, but not sure
