Re: I need some clarification

Rather than worrying about memorizing situations in which you probably will and will not have the odds to call a bet, it's better to learn how to figure it out at the time the bet is made. This will pay off greatly in the long run.

This is good advice, and DB gave a good discussion on all the factors to consider, when exceptions come up, etc.
However, as WalkAmongUs is new, I would like to emphasize that usually you should be seeing the river with your flush draws, and almost always you should be seeing a turn.
As noted, the most common exceptions to this rule occur in small unraised pots (especially pots which get checked through on the flop) and hands with heavy action on a paired board.
While anaylzing every situation on a case-by-case basis is the best approach, I think general guidelines are also important when you're learning.
