Re: Pot Equity and flush draw
Only worry about what's in the pot when you're deciding if you should call or fold. If you're deciding when to raise (or open-bet) you have to compare the equity your hand has (35% for the NFD on the flop) to the number of players in the hand with you...you want the percentage of the money you're putting into the pot to be lower than your pot equity, so in this case you want to be sure there will be at least 2 other players in the pot with you (or that you'll drive everybody out). Since the bet came from your immediate right, your best chance is to call that bet and hope that a couple of other players ride along with you.
