No, this is where you are mis-interpreting the rule. If you are [B]paying to see one street[/B] (the turn) then you should calculate your odds using the 2 rule. So with 9 outs you have (2x9) 18%  or about 4:1 odds. Then if you face a bet after missing your draw on the turn, use the 2 rule again to calculate your odds of hitting on the river.

The 4 rule is telling you that you have 2:1 odds of hitting your draw [B]from the flop to the river[/B], so only applies if you[B] see both streets[/B] for that price[B].
[/B]If one of you is all-in after the flop then you can use the 4 rule to calculate the odds for 2 streets as there will be no further cost.

As pointed out above, you could call with worse odds than 4:1 if you feel that you have implied odds to extract further value when you do hit. This may not be very likely with a flush draw as your opponent may well shut down with 3 of the same suit on the board, but could work in your favour if you are drawing to a well disguised straight.
