Re: The book is paying off.
Let me just put this out there real plain for everyone: ML4L is not Rusty. He is making fun of Rusty. I personally think this is kind of lame. On to the hand...
Pre-flop = bad - no debate there. The call-reraise push is a good play if you're confident MP2 doesn't have a set (note there's a decent chance he does based on his play). If he does, it's still not a disaster as you're ~33% to win (this would be +EV if SB had enough to cover).
It's a disaster if one of them has Ax [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
If you're not up against a set or Ax [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] you're well over 33% to win and it's a nice time to be all-in.
When you play aggressively with this draw it's because you think you're going to be +EV if you get called (and you know the SB is sticking around cause he's all-in). SS aggressive-draw advice is more geared towards stealing pots, as others have pointed out.
All in all, I don't think this is poorly played. After the flop.
