You will make your flush 35% by the river, and usually will win when you do. If you have two or more opponents, you are putting in less than 35% of the money, so each bet (as long as 2 or more opponents call) earns you money.

Really? 35% to hit backdoor flushes? I don't think thats right, isnt it more like 3%?

Runner Runner flushes are like 1.5 outs on the flop. This means that if you have 3 hearts out and need two more it is like 3%. However if 4 hearts are out by the flop then the percentage of one more coming on the turn or river is about 35%.
