*** FLOP *** [Kd 3h Jh] six outs: 3 fives 3 sevens The best hand I can make so far is Trip 5’s/7’s… hence 6 outs

I think you're thinking about outs the wrong way. An out should be a card that, if it falls, makes your hand the best hand. If a 5 or a 7 falls on the turn, it's still very unlikely that you have the best hand. You need to hit one of 6 cards on both the turn AND river to make the best hand. This doesn't count as having 6 outs on the flop. I'd consider it drawing nearly dead.

An example of having 6 outs is if you hold AK on a T52 flop, and you think your opponent has JT. There, any ace or king makes your hand the best, so you have 6 outs - a 25% chance to win if you were to go all-in of the flop.
