Default Quite possibly the stupidest question ever asked here...

I just realized I don't know what I'm doing! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Here's the problem: On the flop, say for example I have an OESD with 8 outs. All these probability charts have odds for "2 cards to come" and "1 card to come". 2.2:1 odds for two cards, 4.8:1 for 1 card. If I'm playing limit, even on the flop, shouldn't I always use the 1 card to come odds??? Unless the flop bet puts me all-in I'm still going to have to call a turn bet most of the time for my draw, so it would seem to me that I'm gonna need better than 8/47 = 4.875:1 to call on the flop.
Am I wrong here? Or is this a poker epiphany I'm having [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

PS I realize that this is a probability question, but I thought it was a better fit in this forum.
