I think I may have missed an important concept here. Why are there only 3 outs as opposed to 6. 3 Aces 3 Kings?

OP said that he got the idea from SSHE. SSHE recommends that you count overcards as 1.5 outs each because somebody might have already hit two pair or a set and even if you hit your overcard, it may not put you ahead of villain.

I don't really agree with SSHE, though, and I think it depends a lot on the situation. Sometimes 1.5 outs per overcard is a good estimate, sometimes it actually is closer to 3 outs per overcard! You just have to use your reads on your opponents and assign a hand range to determine the proper number of outs.
