Pot Odds Miscalculation?

[brael]

Can't make up my mind if I called this right or if I got my sums wrong... Playing at a $0.12/$0.25 pot limit cash table, I'm dealt A8s. Those who call limp in and the pre-flop pot hits $1.50(?). The flop leaves me 1 card short of the nut flush. Player UTG flat calls but player next to him bets $4.37 (:loon ). Everyone folds to me. I think my odds of completing the hand were 3.5/1? Question is what were the pot odds? My gut reaction then was that I was getting odds to call, which I did, and successfully completed my hand on the turn. Mathematically, did I make the wrong move? :unsure

Re: Pot Odds Miscalculation? I think your pot odds are: (4.37 + 1.5) : 4.37 5.87 : 4.37 You had nowhere near the pure odds you needed....... I presume the player was all in, and noone else was invlolved in the hand/expected to be involved in the hand - i.e. there were no implied odds.... You sure about your odds of 3.5/1? 9 cards to make your flush, with two cards to come - isn't it about 36%? (i.e. just less than 2:1 )
