Default Re: Pot odds - right or wrong?

[ QUOTE ]
Blinds are 3/6k, one raises to 22k, one calls, I call. Next pushes all in for another 89k, which makes pot 164k. I have a 40% chance of winning the hand PF, hypothetically speaking. Is this the right formula?

164k/89k = 1,8~ getting ~ 2/1 = 50%
which means i'd have to fold with a 40% hand?

correct?

In total , there is 3+6+22+22+22+89 = 164 .
Assuming the other two players have folded and it's a heads up pot and it's 67 more for you to call , you're getting pot odds of 164:67 which means you need to win at least 67/(164+67) or 28.6% and so a call is mandatory .
