Hi Guys,

Fairly new to sit and go's and trying to understand ICM and pot odds etc.
Below is a hand that played out in a 45-man turbo sit & go on stars.
There was 14 players left at this stage.
Should I call from the BB having already invested 325 chips into the pot from the BB?
I figured the villain in the SB is probably pushing almost ATC here.

I would look this from cEV view. With suited J call is very often going to show profit as villain only has to shove around 60-70%. Also it's good to note that antes does make this spot much better for us.

One way to account antes is to think how many "true big blinds" villain is shoving. With antes added to blinds it would be around 420/210. So villain is actually shoving only 4bb. Just one way to take account antes if you are more used to play without them.
