If he covers someone, it is in fact the very opposite: his opponents are far more likely to be correct making a call w/ a draw due to the implied odds they will be getting.

Excuse me El Diablo but you are a naive person if you believe that the only factor when considering implied odds is the stack size of your opponent. In fact one should first consider the opponents skill level before counting on getting anything at all from future bets. If you make calls based on getting impilied odds from a skilled professional you will find yourself sorely disappointed. Case in point. The most recent TV coverage of last years WSOP has a hand between Sam Fahra and DAniel. Daniel flops the nut straight. Makes a big bet on the turn. The board pairs and a flush gets there. Fahra bets his flush. Daniel correctly mucks his nut straight. So much for implied odds.
