mmm this is true for a shove yes but really we should be looking at making our hand on the next street, i.e. 11 x 2 = 22% chance of making our hand.
This is also a very optimistic scenario and villian will often bet at least 1/2 psb, something like $25 into $40 meaning we are calling $25 to win $65 and are 2.6 to 1 and need %27 and a fold is nearly always correct...
until of course we factor in our implied odds. in this case if we feel we can extract another $20 on the turn we are calling $25 to win $85 and we are effectively 3.4:1 or about 22%.
