Default Pot Odds

Okay, so let's say I play with Pot Odds and not Implied Odds-- is this the correct formula of getting to your odds:

Its $1-2 Hold'Em and your contemplating drawing to your open-ended straight and your on 4th street. You now have about 17% ((4x2)+1) of catching it. Now say there's $50 in the pot--

So is (.17 x 50 + 2)the correct mathetmatics? And once you figure that out ($10.50), is that the amount of money you can afford to spend to make the draw worthwhile? If not, what is $10.50?

Default Re: Pot Odds

You have to be faced with a bet to figure out pot odds. Pots at $50...if someone bets $10 to you, your thinking is correct. Nothing wrong with your math, but what's the bet to you? Or does the $50 include the bet + the pot...if so, it looks right.
