There are no road signs for you to read. Pawn endgames are pure calculation. Since with this pawn structure there is no way for black to force a passed pawn, it all comes down to whether the black king can outflank the white king. In this position he can't, so it's a draw. It's still worth playing on, because if white messes up (which is likely), there may be winning chances.

I ended up in a situation somewhat like this in one of my latest games and it got me thinking about 3 on 2 pawn endgames. Is this position always a draw or always a win, does it depend on who moves first? How different would the position have to be before we could say its always a draw or always a win?
I would be gratefull for anyone who spend some time educateing me.
