A question like this can't be answered until you tell us your bet schedule. Suppose you're a $5 bettor who spreads according to the count, so that your average bet winds up to be $10. Then, the optimal strategy is that you can't play this game, because the ante is 2.5% of your average bet, and you can't gain that much edge by counting -- at least not with a play-all approach. You might backcount aggressively, playing only the higher counts, with larger bets, such that the ante doesn't eat you up alive.

If you play for higher stakes, such that the ante is a considerably smaller percentage of your average bet, then you might still be able to make some money, but your edge will be seriously diminished unless you play for rather high stakes.
