You have to try to make an objective evaluation of two things:
1. your fold equity - what range of hands do you put this guy on, and how likely is it, approximately, that he would fold those hands?
2. your clean outs - again looking at his range of hands, how many of your outs are actually outs?
(e.g. in this case if he has AK, KQ, KJ, KT - you don't have 15 clean outs. You have 9 outs, plus 6 outs to split the pot if he has any of those hands except AK, or 3 outs to split if he has AK)
If your fold equity is low or none, and your outs are not as many as you'd like, you call when the odds are there. Don't make the mistake of always assuming that a good-looking draw is the best possible semi-bluffing opportunity.
Now, if I think the guy might fold, and I know he probably has one pair, and I very likely have 15 clean outs, or even 12... I'm going to make the move.
