I've been doing a little thinking about something but I'm not sure if I can figure out this.....

Odds of having the best hand.

Now lets assume I have in my hand 9d9c.

The board reads 6h 3h 9s 2h Js.

Now I'm trying to figure out what are the odds I have the best hand here.

I see that there are 59 possible combinations that beat me.

9 flushes with the Ace
8 flushes with the King
7 flushes with the Queen
6 flushes with the Jack
5 flushes with the T
4 flushes with the 9
3 flushes with the 8
2 flushes with the 7

Never counting a specific flush twice....

There are also

12 possible straights with the 45.

There are also

3 possible holdings of JJ which is higher than my set.

That means there 59 possible hands that are higher than mine.

So how do I know what type of a favorite I am here to hold the best hand?

I always here of talking of how I should call a river bet here because I'm getting x to 1 from the pot if this is a Limit HE game.

Is this the way to figure out your odds you have the best hand compared to the pot odds you are getting?

Thanks in advance.
