Do you have the odds to call with a flush draw?
A flush draw has 9 outs, about 36% equity on the flop and 18% on the turn.
Nine cards complete your flush, which the rule of 4 turns into roughly 36% with two cards to come and the rule of 2 into about 18% on the turn. On the flop you can call almost any bet up to a pot-sized bet on direct odds, but on the turn you need a smaller bet or implied odds.
On direct pot odds, 9 outs lets you profitably call a flop bet up to about 1.3x the pot. Deeper stacks and implied odds push that higher.
Quick tip: Flush draw on the flop is about 36%. It calls almost anything up to pot.
