Pot odds question

[ QUOTE ]

Of course, you are 36% to hit on EITHER the turn or the river when drawing on a 4 flush on the flop. You need to evaluate your odds based on hitting on the next card because a bet may be coming on the turn which becomes its own pot odds problem.

I play mainly NL, and I've found it's better to treat each card (turn & river) individually, than as a unit and assume that because you're getting better than 2:1 postflop on a flush draw, it's a good bet.

Too much can happen to make that plan to go down the toilet. In addition, flushes are very obvious so that even when you hit them you often don't get paid, and you can get creamed by a full boat redraw on the river.

I was watching poker on TV, and one of the announcers, I forget whom, was saying that flush draws are pretty much fool's gold in Hold'm.
