I dont think so.

You have two doors, and no idea which is the correct one, your chances are equal, how can one possibly be more likely then the other ?

The whole point is that there are three doors initially
How is that relevant ?
Again, you are left with two doors, and you dont know which one is right, how are your odds at that point anything other than 50/50 ?

The key is that if the car is behind door 2 the host must open door 3, but if the car is behind door 1 the host can open either door.
Again, how is this "the key" or relevant ?
Only the host knows where the car is, you have no clue at all, as far as you are ever concerned, its behind one door other the other, you have no further information at all to help you decide, so your odds of being right when asked to choose again are 50/50.
