Im probably just repeating what others have already said...

Outs: Cards that will improve you hand. When counting outs, make sure you arent counting outs what will hurt your hand. Example: Say you have an open ended straight draw, but theres a flush draw showing. If you think an opponent is on a flush draw, then you do not have 8 outs, but only 6. Why? Because 2 out those outs will acutally hurt your hand.

Odd percentages: Titan did a ery good job in explaining this. Another way of figuring out the percentage of hitting your outs is...

-On the turn: multiply the number of outs by 4
-On the river: multiply the number of outs by 2
Its not 100% accurate, but its ery close.

Hand Odds: Lets say you flop a 4 flush draw. What are the odds of you hitting your hand?

47*[unknown cards] - 9[outs] = 36[dont improve]/9[improve] = 4:1

Pot Odds: pretty simple stuff. $100 pot and its $10 to call. You're getting 10:1 odds.

A nice rule-if the pot odds laying to you are greater than your hand odds, you should consider calling. If its the opposite, you should fold.
