Default Set vs. 4-flush board odds question

Was wondering if I'm calculating the odds right, or I'm completely missing something.

Hero has a middle set vs a four-flush board after the turn.

Are these odds calculations right?

Hero has 10 outs - 9 for the board to pair, and one for quads (assuming somone's got the flush). If that's right, then there's 50 unseen cards, 10 outs, so 10/50 is 1/5 chance, which translates into 4 to 1 odds? So if the hero is getting at least 4 to 1 pot odds to call on the turn, calling is the correct move?

Thanks!

That was close. Actually you have 10 outs and there are 46 unseen cards. You have two cards and there are four on the board leaving 46 unseen cards, therefore.

The odds would be 1 to 3.6

Wow... To think I've been playing poker for this long and didn't know how many cards are in the deck...

Once I can count right, I get the same number.

Thanks so much for your help Cobra!
