Default Re: how many outs do i have?

If you are behind, you do not have enough outs to cover your odds. Either he has a set (and you are dead) or two pair with the ace in which case you have ~2 outs (hearts look bad).

So you can only call if you think there is a fair chance you are ahead (About 1 time in 5? I am too lazy to do the math). An extreme LAG you have to call down. Lacking reads I would probably fold.

Edit: Oops. Missed the "hidden outs". Against two pair with ace you have 4-6 outs (against A7) or 7-9 (against A2). So it is closer than I originally thought. But if we factor in the risk for sets you still dont have enough odds to call unless we factor in a probability of you being ahead here.
