If there are no antes, so you have absolutely nothing invested, then there's no real point putting your chips in with a below-average hand. If you're really low (say 1-2BB), and somebody raises before you, it might be worth calling all in with a mediocre hand if you suspect the blinds will fold. If you had 1 blind then you'd be getting 2.5-1 on your blind.
I suppose sometimes a small suited connector might be the favourite in a multi-way pot as well, but not by very much. Those are hands that I'd fold in a regular game pre-flop if there is no action behind me that are worth calling raises with if there is good action behind you.
