If you have two overcards to the flop, you should always consider the fact that you may be drawing dead, or virtually dead. Two overcards to an uncoordinated rainbow flop does not mean you have six outs. For example, let's say you have KQ offsuit and the flop comes J 7 2 rainbow with two others in the pot. If one of them has two-pair or a set (3 of a kind), you're drawing virtually dead unless you somehow make runner runner for a straight or a higher two pair.

The best thing to do when you see a flop like this holding two overcards is to bet or raise a small bet in order to get information, to see where you are in the hand. If you get raised, someone probably has a jack and you'll most likely be looking for a K or Q. If you get flat called, watch out, someone probably has a monster and is fishing for your chips. Basically, if you get any resistance here and/or the turn doesn't help you, it's time to abort mission and drop the hand. And even if you spike a K or Q on the turn, if someone raises you or puts it all in against you here, think carefully about your next move and ask yourself "What can I beat here? What would he flat-call on the flop and raise the turn with?"

Sets are silent killers. Be VERY wary of them.
