Default Re: figuring out odds to make a hand??

Your probability of hitting the draw, as a percent, is roughly your outs times the number of cards to come times two. On the flop, a 4-flush has 9 outs times 2 cards to come times 2 = 36% chance of making the hand, or a little less than 2-1 against. On the turn, 9 outs times 1 card times 2 is 18%, or a little over 4-1 against. Obviously not precise, but close enough in this range.
