Then as I see this develop the hidden outs are some what of an inverse to being counterfieted when holding low pairs.

What I mean if I read you correctly OrangeKing the hidden outs are outs which will in a similiar way counterfiet your pocket holding giving your hand of A3 added strength by eliminating the kicker you hold and replacing it with cards on the board to complete your hand at a more competitive strength. In this case going for a split pot.
