I was including some versions of Deuces Wild Mike.

I always forget about the "Wild" games. I haven't added any of them to my arsenal yet. One game at a time for a simple minded old fart. JOB, then DDB and now DB. I'll get there though if I live long enough

Here's my convoluted logic on the flush draw. Drawing to a FH is from two pair, which pays something if the FH doesn't hit. From a 4 card flush, if the flush doesn't hit, you get nothing, nada.
As far as the old fart thing, I have plenty senior moments.

. . . the chance of missing 21 flush draws in a row is (80.85^21) = 1.15% of all sets of 21 flush draws
To put it in perspective, the odds of missing 21 4-card flush draws in a row are a little better than those of being dealt a 4-card flush in the first place from a standard 52-card deck, nothing wild, about 1.15% to about 1.07%*, 4-card straight and royal flushes included.
*combin(13,4)*39/combin(52,5)
