These pot odd calculations are mainly for "when you're already there" (for whatever reason)
That is why I said don't go for suited connectors unless 4+ people in the pot. This comes from calculations. At 4 people (including you) in the pot, calling with a suited connector becomes 'slightly favorable', at 5 and more people, it's a good idea. If you start with a suited connectors, here are your odds:
11%, 1/9 (1:8): straight draw
11%, 1/9 (1:8): flush draw
5%, 1/20 (1:19): something good (2 pair, flush, straight, 4 of a kind, full house,..)
