Default Re: Newbie question on counting outs (low content)

You generally count overcards at half their value so you give yourself 3 outs here for the A & K combined. You could be reverse dominated (i.e., against A5s and K9s) so you can't count them as full outs. If someone flopped a set, you are drawing dead. There is more to the equation than that though. What reads do you have on SB & BB. What hands would they play this way?

If we assume you have 4.5 outs (1.5 for the BD and 3 for the A&K), you need 10.4:1 to call. You are getting 10:1 IF SB doesn't 3 bet and BB doesn't cap. If it gets 3 bet or capped your odds go way down. I would let this go. I don't like being 2 bet into when I was PFR (even though it could have been a steal attempt) and the pot isn't that big. This may be a little weak but I personally wait for a better spot.
