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 Smile

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 Ace of Hearts Jack of Hearts and the flop is : Queen of Hearts Ten of Hearts Jack of Diamonds
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
