A question about pot odds

Hi people.

I have a general question about pot odds. This is the situation. You end up at the flop with a flush draw. The pot is 200, my oponent bets 100. So my odds are 100/(200+100)= 3:1 = 25%. Nine outs would give a 36% chance of hitting the flush. So I'd say this is a call situation. The the pot is 400. On the turn my opponent bets 200, again half pot size. Same calculation gives me 25% but my chances decreased to 18%, so I can't justify this call.

Shoulden't I calculate the pot odds at the flop with only my chances of hitting the flush at the turn?

I hope someone can clarify this for me, thanks in advance.

Yeah if flop is all-in then you can count equity from turn and river. Otherwise only take next street directly into account. Of course sometimes you will have free river or you might have chance to semibluff yourself. Also hitting hand might offer implied value so direct pot odds for call from flop to turn is often not needed.

You can make an assumption and take into consideration several factors eg. Are you in posiotion? Opponent type, how well the board hits his range and how often should he cbet turn? Implied odds?
