Default Re: calculating correct pot odds

This is if your only outs are flush outs, and if you make the flush you'll be good.

Hitting flush with 2 cards to come: 1 - C(38,2)/C(47,2) = ~34.97%
With 1 card to come: 9/46 = 19.57%
Hitting flush on the turn card (for immediate odds): 9/47 = 19.15%

So, if you were faced with an all in bet you need to have better pot odds than the percentages listed. Immediate odds are more of a concern, as well as implied odds. Keep in mind that pot odds are much more applicable to limit...but certainly still useful.
