The short answer is that it isn't.
"Implied odds" for pre-flop hands is a bit of a fuzzy term. It doesn't even work very well for set-mining, as each pocket pair differs in strength, in much the same way that some suited connectors realize their equity better than others.
Don't treat poker like a slot machine. In the modern day, you can't say "my stack is 20x the price of calling, so it must be an +EV call, because I'll win a stack at least once every 20 times I make the call". Poker doesn't work like that. It's much more complicated, and - generally speaking - very few suited connectors make money as calls pre-flop.
