Well:
1. In the first link, I posted data showing that flopped flush draws were completing around 35% of the time and not 50% of the time as you had stated. And I posted a link and a quote of a post I made years ago to attempt to explain why your following quote is incorrect:

2. You keep pointing out won hand percentages of around 50% or something. In the second link, I attempt to explain that every player winning an equal number of hands would not cause players to be even. In fact, I would be surprised if even the best players in the world could have a won hand % of greater than just a little over 100 divided by the number of players at the table. Eg.: If there were 6 players at the table: 100 divided by 6 = 16.67%. Without looking at any data, I think I would be pretty surprised if even the best players in the world could achieve a won hand % of too much over 20% without significantly decreasing the amount of money they win (but I haven't looked at any data so I am not going to try to pick any sort of exact number). (Obviously one could maximize one's won hand % by going all-in pre-flop every hand, but one would lose a lot of money doing this.) This is a game of small edges.
In this second link, I pointed out that the goal of poker is not to win hands, but to win money. Further, I posted a chart showing that I have only won 17.5% of my hands, but have won money.
3. In the third link, I point out that you ignored the posts I made in the first two links. Your first post after I made those two posts was instead a weird sort of ad hominem that wasn't clearly directed at any person in particular.
I then ask a few very simple straight forward questions, such questions being: (a) Who exactly you were addressing with the ad hominem post; and (b) What exactly the terms "decent amount" and "much" meant in your ad hominem post in the context they were therein used. You didn't answer.
