You shouldn't just count on your outs to decide between folding or calling. If the pot is 15BB on the flop and it costs you one bet to see the turn, even if you only have 2 outs, you better be in there.

But you must also be careful when you count your outs because sometimes an out won't give you the best hand.

For example, if you have Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and the flop is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]-- you have 6 outs to pair either your Queen or Ace to give you top pair. In addition you have a backdoor flush draw and even a gutshot-backdoor straight draw. All together you have 9 outs, but you should probably lower the value because top pair won't win often, and because the flop is slightly coordinated. So give yourself 6-8 outs, depending, and act accordingly.

Hope it helped.
