Re: Math behind flush odds
How do you ultimately arrive at 1.85 to 1 for a flush draw when you have 9 outs? After the flop, isn't it 38/9 with 47 unseen cards? When calculating pot odds, isn't it then 4.222 to 1 on a flush draw after the flop as opposed to the 1.85 to 1 that you get by using the calculation that David Sklansky (and the prior poster) has given us?
4.2-1 is for making your flush on the turn, which is actually used more often. 1.86-1 is for making it by the river, as calculated by the 3 methods described in the posts linked above.
