Any help out there???

I've cut this from a poker website and have a question

Poker Outs

An Out is defined as a card in the deck that help you make your hand. So if you hold A5 of spades and have two spades on the flop, that leaves 9 more spades in the deck, since there are 13 cards of each suit. This means you have 9 outs to complete your hand.

Your Hand             The Flop

Why are the two remaining 5's and three remaining A's also not counted as 'outs' Should the number of outs not be 14?

    They are just using the flush as an example... Say for instance the villan had 2 pair.. then the A and the 5 are not OUTS, baring runner runner

    Agree - I normally work out 'outs' as cards that will give me the nuts vs the villians range or likely holding.

    Unlikely a single 5 will give you the best hand and even the Ace would leave serious doubts you were outkicked?
