I played like a donk and sucked out on turn by catching my overcards and won. Person who got eliminated by me called me a donk while other people said I had good outs and it was worth it to call. It was simple $2 sng.

I had around 1300 chips. My opponent had 800 chips. I had 89 suited. My opponent had 7 K suited. Flop came out 2 6 7 rainbow(all different suits). While I considered 5s and 10s as outs, which is 8 outs, some people said, i had 8 and 9s too, which is another 6 outs, therefore 14 outs. Can you really consider overcards as outs too? Of course, every situation is different but in general, I’m sure I can get an answer for this. Reason why I dont’ consider overcards as outs is because if my opponent flopped a set or two pairs, then I’m at straight draw at best.

How do people consider outs?

An out is a card(s), that, if arrived, would make your hand stronger than your opponent’s. In your case, after the flop your opponent has a pair of 7s. To win, you have to hit one of 4 5s and 10s (giving you a straight), or one of 3 8s and 9s, giving you a pair of 8s or a pair of 9s respectively. This totals to 14 helping cards, or outs. If one card from flot matches your suit, and then turn comes of your suit again, then you get another 7 outs (9 minus one 5 and one 10) to make a flush (of course if your opponent’s suit is not the same, then you don’t get any outs).
Hope this helps
