A flush draw is usually more of a 1/3 chance of winning I think delmoi. Unless you had other draws.. but who knows.

Thanks for my laugh of the day, tellurian. "It never occurred to me there would be any danger involved." Yeah, why would you think it might be dangerous? You, a few other folk, plastic table and oh yeah AN ANGRY RAMPAGING BULL.

A flush draw in hearts to the river would mean you're drawing 1 of 9 hearts (4 you can see in your hand/on the table) in a pack that has 46 cards. 9 in 46 (or 37 to 9) means a tad worse than 1 in 5 (4.something to 1), and that is if no one else has any hearts (which is unlikely).
If you were drawing to your flush from the flop with the turn and river to go, you were a bit better than 2 to 1 to make the flush by the river. That means some 35% to make your flush either on the turn or the river
I would have played if I wasn't on a plane at that time. Snakes might also have been involved. I won't say. I'd be up for a game now and then (can you tell? :), but I prefer pokerstars myself (works fine in linux under crossover office or transgaming cedega).
