Here are the rules i follow at my tables to win the most (and lose the least) on a flush draw.
1: Don't draw to a flush on a paired board. Even when you make your hand, you get into a lot of awkward turn/river spots. Example:
Hero had AsJs on a Ts Td 8s board vs v with 88. turn is 4s, hero bets and villain jams. Yuck!
2: Always draw to a flush on a str8 board. Even when you aren't getting the direct pot odds, implied odds are through the roof. If you can hit your card, you will stack str8s and make a killing. Overall, it is a winning play.
3: Keep in mind stack and pot sizes. If you a 100BB stack, and you need to call 10BB to draw, the next street you will probably have to call >20BB. This is especially important in tournaments, you need to know if calling one street is going to price you into a jam the next.
4: Mix it up with your strong draws. Throw in a raise, bet, or c-riase with an A-high or a straight flush draw every now and then.
If you have anything to add or disagree with something comment pls!
