Obviously I'm a new player and trying
to understand the number of Outs you
have will a particular holding.
Example: holding AH and JH
I'm a right in assuming that there are
12 outs?
3 outs for Aces
3 outs for Jacks
3 outs for a Flush
3 outs for a Straight
Thanks for the help

Welcome to the forum. No need to bold your entire message , you'll get just as many replies (if not more) if you use normal font 
Now , normally we count outs from the flop. You count any outs that will improve your hand.
Before the flop you just evaluate the strength of your hands compare to a range of hands you can put your opponent on.
So lets say you have   and the flop is :   
you now have 17 outs to improve your hand.
9 harts , 3 K , 3 A and 2 J.
However you might catch some of your outs and still lose : for example if opponent have AK, catching an A or a J will not be enough to win and catching a K will be a split pot.
and sometimes you can win unimprove, say opponent holds 9's, or 9J or anything else.
Good luck
Danny
