If I the hand is Kc9s.... now you count your outs?

I know I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what it is... I'm still learning...

Thanks for the reply....

OK, now I've got Kc7s and I want to count my outs (I changed it to K7 to avoid runner-runner straight possibilities). So the important question is - What do I think my opponent has?

If he's got AA, then I've got 5 outs - 2 remaining kings and 3 remaining sevens.
If he's got AK, then I've only got 3 outs - the 3 remaining sevens. AhKh drops you down to 2 outs, since the 7h gives your opponent a flush (but would give you a draw to a full house)
If he's got KJ, I'm drawing nearly dead, to running sevens.
If he's got QQ, I don't need to count outs, just avoid the remaining two queens.
If he's got JJ, I'm [censored] unless I catch perfect-perfect for quad kings.

So now you have to look at the preflop and flop action, decide what his range of possible holdings is, and from that you can figure out how many outs you probably have. It's not exact.
