      The best way to think about it is you have 4 cards and must use 2. In your hand of ABCD you can use AB AC AD BC BD an CD. So you have 6 hands. The ideal is to have as many of these 6 hands nut drawing as possible. This is why hands like TJQKds play so well because they have all 6 hands nut drawing.

     hands that will cost you a lot are BAD pps. AA94r for example has only 1 nut drawing hand and unless you hit the ace are not likely to win
