Default Re: Am I doing it right?

I read somewhere that Miller consider it 1.5 outs. Or would that be to the river?

Yeah, he does. I will use 1 or 1.5 depending on the situation and how dangerous it seems. Here's the SSH quote (p 102):

...a backdoor flush draw is worth about one out. It is usually worth slightly more because when you do not pick up your draw on fourth street, you can fold (saving a bet). Also, if you do compolete your flush, your observant opponents will often not supsect it (as they would if a third flush card came to a flopped two flush), so you can frequently collect extra river bets. A reasonable estimate for the value a backdoor flush draw adds is 1.5 outs.
