Correct use of implied odds?

I believe I have this right, but just want to make sure. Here's the situation:

.05/.10 NL 6 handed. I flop an OESD on the button w/ a 57. Guy across from me makes a pot sized (.50) bet. I put him on TP (10) and my read on him is that he wil not be able to get away from this hand no matter what comes on the later streets, so I called. He had about 5.50 to start the hand, and I had him covered. I figured if I missed on the turn, he would again make a pot sized bet, making it a total of $2.00 for me to get to the river (.50 on the flop, 1.50 on the turn), and the potential for the pot to be around $10. Will this make money in the long run?

Pay 2$ to win 5.90$ =~33.9%
Odds of hitting your draw =~31.4%

So (under your assumptions) it's a losing play.

If you can destack him everytime, then yes its a good use.

does the money I put into a pot not get counted when determining odds (both pot and implied)? Because if this is the case, then I have been doing it wrong.

no, the money you put into a pot doesnt count for either

Hm. I would think your BB does. But nothing else.

Basicly it depends when you start playing for the implied odds. As you played for it from the flop you count anything PF, but not what you're going to put in from then on.

Right?

yea, any money you voluntarily put into the pot should not count

Money already in the pot counts...

Doesnt matter who it came from...

It's the money that your betting now that doesnt count

Calling a pot sized bet on the turn would be a bad idea since there is little money left behind. You would be calling a $1.50 bet with a 1/6 chance of winning about $7, so even if you are correct that he will pay you off when you hit the river calling would be -EV.

Calling the flop with the intention of folding the turn if you miss is OK though: you are paying $.50 with a 1/6 chance of hitting the turn, so you just have to win $3 when you hit to break even. There's $1 in the pot already, and extracting $2 more from op on the turn and river sounds faesible (even without your read that he can't lay down his hand).

I figured if I missed on the turn, he would again make a pot sized bet, making it a total of $2.00 for me to get to the river

Even if that is true, there is a difference between calling $0.5 to see turn and then calling $1.5 to see river than putting in $2 at flop and see both turn and river. Might happen that he checks the turn if he thinks you have a strong hand, wich he might think if you raise his bet instead of just calling it. Depends on the player though. But when you have more information, that is have seen the turn card, it is a new situation.
