At 15 outs I'm about 2.1:1 to make my hand.

This is just until the next card. To determine your equity, you need to see how often you'll be good by the river. In this case, you'll hit your outs over 50% of the time. In that case, you only need one other player with you in order to cap this on the flop for value. With one other player, you'd be putting in half of the money, but winning over half of the time.

Do some searches for the term equity. This is what you're looking for.
