Thanks for the compliment!

Why I posted was not that I was concerned with my play, rather what is the "break-even" point for the implied odds calculation (i.e., what is the minimum pot contribution the other players need to make in later streets to give you the implied odds to justify the call). If the two players had become limp noodles when the third diamond hit, and they only bet $0.50 a street or folded to an aggressive bet by me, I wouldn't have had the implied odds. The fact that they put their entire stacks in the middle, I clearly had the implied odds, but where is the break-even point in extra $$ required.

Is it as simple as determining what the pot size would need to be to make the pot odds of the $15 flop call equal to the odds of hitting the flush (in this case an extra $7.61 over the pot size at flop if I have my math correct).

All assistance appreciated.
