If the board is dry (i.e., there isn't a big chance that the card that improves you will also improve a villain), you are about 1 in 9 to draw out to 2 pair on the turn-- thus, if you think you can get 8 to 1 implied odds on your call (getting 8 to 1 pot odds is pretty rare in no limit), you can do it. Of course, because sometimes you will behind a monster or your card will make someone else's better 2 pair or straight, you probably should demand greater than 8 to 1 on your call.
