Re: calculating correct pot odds
When calculating things like whether you will hit a flush with two cards to come, it's often easier to calculate the odds that you WON'T hit and subtract from 1.
There are 47 cards remaining in the deck. For you to miss, both cards have to be non-hearts, in this case. There are 38 non-hearts left in the deck. So there are C(38,2) ways you can "miss" out of C(47,2) possible turns/rivers. So you've calculated the odds of missing. Subtracting from 1 gives you the odds of hitting the flush.
