For a real example, say you have Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and the flop comes 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. When calculating your outs, you would give yourself 6 outs for the overcards, 1.5 outs for the backdoor flush and another 1.5 out for the backdoor straight, for a total of nine outs. Of course pairing one of your overs won't always win, so you should partially discount those outs.
