Again, it's 0.01%, not 0.02% so I'm wondering where this error comes from.?
No, it's 0.02%.
Flopping a straight flush
There's 19600 different ways of dealing a flop with T9s out of the deck (50*49*48/3!=19600).
There's 4 ways of dealing a straight flush with T9s (KQJ
T9, QJ
T98, J
T987 and
T9876).
And 4/19600*100%=0.02%.
Flopping a flush
After removing T9s from the deck there's still 11 remaining cards of that suit.
There's 11*10*9/3!=165 ways of drawing 3 of this suit for the flop, 4 of which are a straight flush.
So, there's 161 ways of drawing a flop that gives T9s a flush.
So there's 161/19600=0.82% chance of flopping a flush
Flopping a straight
Let's look at the chance of flopping a KQJ
T9 straight.
There's 4 K's in the deck, 4 Q's and 4 J's.
There's 4*4*4 ways of drawing a KQJ flop, with a total of 6 permutations (KQJ, KJQ, QKJ,QJK,JKQ,JQK), making for a total of 4*4*4*6 ways of flopping a straight with KQJ.
There's 4 ways for T9 to flop a straight (KQJ
T9, QJ
T98, J
T987,
T9876), so that makes for a total of 4*4*4*6*4 ways of flopping a straight.
You still need to divide by 3! though to compensate for overlaps between the 6 permutations, so there's 4*4*4*6*4/3!=256 ways of flopping a straight, 4 of which are straight flushes.
So that's 252 ways of flopping a straight.
This makes for a percentage of 252/19600*100%=1.29%.

Are you saying the flush % is not reduced by the straight-flushes % and only the straight % is? Then why the flush % is 0.82 when it should be 0.84?
Straight flushes are not included in the flush statistic.
After all, they're not flushes
