Well the odds of drawing your flush are 4:1.... so for proper pot odds, I would had to make their pot odds 3:1 or lower.... therefor unprofitable for them to continue (in case they miss)...
Maybe I hit the nail a little better that time?
Edit: Woot.... just had a hand happen..... maybe I can show that I learned (or think I learned) what your talking about:

Outcome: Hero won $3.51
I reraised because my pocket 5's gives me great odds to hit a set on the flop. Flop shows a set but 2 spades..... so I want to make it unproffitable for a flush draw to continue.... so a shove makes the pot odds unfavorable for a flush draw. I happened to catch a pair of pocket tens from someone who thought they had the better hand... but I was already leading with my set (altough pocket 10's had 2 outs.. where I had roughly 7 outs on the flop (one 2, and 3 outs each for the other cards to pair up.) and 10 outs on the turn.
.....Right?
