Default Correct me if i\'m wrong....

NL Texas Holdem:

if there are $15 in the pot after the turn (before the river) and two players still in the hand (my opponent and myself). i am on a flush draw. my opponent bets $5 to me.

if i call i have put in 1/5 the total pot, on a 1/5 chance. is this correct?

So the bet was after the turn, but before the river? I remember that hand, it was right between recess and lunch.

yes, that's correct, and is an EASY (better than break even) call given your implied odds.

You might find it easier to think in terms of odds. You are a 4 to 1 dog to hit your flush on the river. That means if you put in 1 chip, you need to be getting 4 chips back.
