Math/pot odds question, SNG hand

[Alchemist]

This is really more of a pot odds type question than stud in order to make sure I understand this concept.

I got stuck trying to steal with my Ace in the door. Let's fast forward to 5th street. With his bet of 400, the pot is 1800. But whether to play or fold effectively means him going all in. That means I'm calling a bet of 536 into a pot of 1936. So the pot is giving me 3.6:1, which means I need almost 22% equity to call?

Twodimes says my pot equity at this point is just better than 2:1 (.339). And since .339 > .217 it's a clear call?

I would save chips and check-fold 4th street after both players catch low cards and you have A-K high.

You were correct to try to steal it on third street. I think you know that your hand is trash, though. When both of your opponents catch good on fourth street, I think it's time to cut bait. Having gotten to fifth street, I think your reasoning is sound. You're stuck.
