Default NL Implied Odds

Okay so I want to make implied odds my new best friend.

I play NL almost exclusively, so none of this "I may win 1BB extra" stuff. Most of the bets are roughly 1/2-full pot size bets. So basic pot odds are shot unless you get really lucky and the incoming bet is extremely small. Implied odds have to be what it's all about now.

So say I have A7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and I just limped on the button. 3 people limped in front of me, the blinds completed and checked. Pot = 6BB.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

It's checked around to the 2nd limper who bets 3BB (1/2 pot)

Now what all should I consider when making this call?? What conditions of these considerations would make the call profitable??

(Obviously stack sizes and the like, but how large do they need to be? Stuff like that.)
