A backdoor draw means after dealing the
flop you have already three cards to make a straight or a flush. It is a kind
of the runner-runner case (see the post below).
Backdoor flush is one of the
situations at the poker table when you or your opponent hit a flush with the
turn and the river card. This is one of the runner-runner situations where the
best probabilities and odds to hit the winning hand exist. The probability is
1:24 after dealt flop. A runner-runner flush draw is about the equivalent of
one "normal" out.
Backdoor straight is similar to
backdoor flush. But the probabilities are not as high. It is also more
complicated to calculate the outs and odds.
Altogether, I would say, to play
backdoor draws is justified only if there is another draw that grows your
chance of winning the hand.
