Implied odds mean calling a hand knowing that you might be behind but knowing that if you hit you will be able to extract a large amount of profit from a player.

If you are calling a $20 raise with only a 20% chance of winning when the pot is only $10 then this is the wrong play. However if you know (as i did) that if you hit your hand there would still be betting post flop then you can add this into your equation. This makes a $20 call into a potential $1100 with a 20% chance of winning a definate call.

I know that i lost this hand but i am pretty confident if that A hadnt turned i would have won all his chips. Therefore my $20 call i stand by as the right call and take the loss on the chin as just one of those things this lovely game likes to throw up.
