You aren't obligated to continue. If the draw isn't profitable, don't call.

But the problem with these weak one-card draws is that you often don't know whether it's profitable or not.

If your best guess is that the draw is profitable, continue. If not, fold. If you are wrong, learn and fix your intuition.

The PokerRoom statistics are based on all players, not just winning players. They show some oddities such as 72s losing more than 72o, since more losing players will play 72s than 72o, while winning players generally know not to play either. However, even these stats show that middle pairs in early position in loose games do much better than low pairs, which suggests that even average players are getting some value on average from the extra 6 and 10 out draws and increased showdown value, and are not getting trapped on average. The opportunity should not be a net minus for winning players.
