Why I called preflop: This STT structure has antes since the first level, so we need to wide our ranges in the early game. That means we're defending our BB much wider than we would defend with no antes. We have good odds, also.
OTF: Just call or 3bet? Why?
I've 3betted to isolate and protect from flush draws.

Pre-flop I would most likely fold with a off suite connector like T9o. As played I would 3bet shove. Now you’re line looks extreme strong with more than half your stack invested and now you have some change he would fold a set or something.

I like defending such hands in a turbo structured STT coz 40 chips would not mean much when the blinds and antes considerably increase (dead money for you). I would say that you get a free play here and you need to use this opportunity. Yes, you will very often be on a draw and will have to give up to an aggression but you are very likely to get paid at the multiway pots and it is great to double up at an early stage in such tournaments.
As played otf, I would most likely lead out here and start collecting value from drawing and weaker made hands
