Perhaps I'm dense, because I was not sure but if I'm confused it's certainly possible that complete newbies would be. Anyhow, might be best to use real name of game instead of nicknames, especially when new games pop up all of the time.
Anyhow, I don't like the calls. Maybe he has looked at calculations maybe he hasn't, but they aren't hard. Can't just look at hot/cold equities, as two card draws will under realize by something like 10-20% because they are a card or two behind. So accounting for under realization you may be around a 60/40 dog against most two card draws and 80/20 against one card draws.
Whether he ends up ahead or not may not be proveable. I say not, but don't think he is printing money in this spot. In other words you can be a respected pro dude without going up hill all of the time.
Here's a play I kind of like, say you are on the button with something like A2A2 and cut-off or HJ raises. You can re-raise them, draw the 3, and if you win you have a nice LAG image and possible tilt equity with guy on your immediate right.
I think it's a close call on whether or not position is better than being half invested. Position can win you pots in this game that you would not have won otherwise.
