Assuming you are suited and a flop follows, what is the probability of flopping the flush?
I reason as follow but this may be incottect.

Can anyone verify this math?
if you start suited the chance the flop will come all of your suit is
C(11,3)/C(50,3) * 100 = .84%
note that I rephrased your question. if your starting cards are connected a few of the 165 flops that are all your suit will actually give you a straight flush not a flush...
edit to add: the problem with your formula is you are taking the cards one at a time in the numerator but all three at once in the denominator. you can take the cards one at a time and rewrite it this way:
C(11,1)/C(50,1) * C(10,1)/C(49/1) * C(9,1)/C(48,1)
which gives the same result

Thank you, I was also considering (11 C 3). As a note for a straight flush other cards outside of connectors will result in a SF. Last week I was dealt 3 4 suited. The flop came A 2, and 5. Wish I could say I got the SF but alas I folded preflop.

do you not consider 34 connected?
I think we have a misunderstanding.

its easier this way
11/50*10/49*9/48=990/11760=0.084183673469387755102040816326531

Yes, I wanted to see a flop with 3, 4 suited but when it came to me there were two raises.
