Default Re: Probability of flopping 1 card flush draw?

[ QUOTE ]

= 9/46 * 37/45 + 37/46 * 9/45 + 9/46 + 8/45 = 35.65%?

Can you do that with the choose method too? I am off I get
(9*38)+ (9*8) / (47 choose 2)= 38%

Sure. First fix your method:

9/47 * 38/46 + 38/47 * 9/46 + 9/47 * 8/46 = 0.349676226

Using the counting method:

(9*38 + (9 choose 2))/(47 choose 2) = 0.349676226

And finally, taking the complement of NOT getting any more of your suit:

1 - (38/47)*(37/46) = 0.349676226

They all agree.
