So now I need to learn how to see when these reverse implied odds are against me.

Is it is as simple as looking at the shared cards and working out how many combinations there are to get a hand that could (or would?) beat yours? If there are lots of ways the odds are bad?

Some simple situations where you should be aware of reverse implied odds are when you're drawing to or have the idiot end of a straight, drawing to a straight with 3 to a flush or when you're drawing to or have a straight/flush on a paired board. There are others but this is the most basic of situations.
