This is over-simplistic because there are other factors you have to consider before calling with Implied-Odd. But basically if you look at the pot and decide it's right to call the bet, that's pot-odds. If you look at the stack sizes and decide it's right to call the bet, that's Implied-odds.

Using that formula lets say 0.01/0.02 blinds. Same scenario I listed before except no body else calls. So to recap, I am on the button with pocket 2s. Villain raised mid table to 10c. If he has $3.00 in his pot, and I have lets say $2.50, $3/$0.10 means I have 30:1 odds of doubling up *if* I hit on the flop? Or am I way off here?

It also sounds to me like it is probably not worth it if played against a tight player that folds to agression post-flop frequently, but worth it against a loose aggressive player? If so I take that to mean that implied odds are not just based on the hand/stacks, but also the opponent(s) play style? This would certainly explain why I have seen no posts claiming to simplify implied odd calculation.
