I highly doubt the lack of nut flush draws is hurting your winrate, but more likely your blind aggression when you do flop a draw.
Poker is a long term game, your long term is different than someone elses. If you actually care about how often you're supposed to flop a flush draw, the numbers will eventually even out. Personally, I would vent my aggression towards something more meaningful or that you can control, instead of worrying about how often something should happen in a game based on the randomness of 52 cards.
Hey, did you also see the comment I made in response to good "x/f" advice where I wholly admitted it was a spewy line?
Seems like you didn't, and that you also haven't seen that I've posted multiple hands in the past few weeks in which I'm pretty open about the fact that I'm still learning and trying to improve. Like, not even two weeks ago I posted
this in which I basically said "I've already stopped doing this one thing preflop because I realized it was bad, but I'm looking to learn even more".
Like, come on. I can have major leaks that I'm openly working through AND have a legitimate grievance against specific, measurable completely-out-of-my-hands things. Both can hurt my winrate; they are by no means mutually exclusive.
But apparently this is the more meaningful thing that you need to vent your own aggression about. So, cheers to you for being so eager to attack me in a completely unconstructive way.
And, by the way, I'm not even going to be able to see that I'm flopping 1/4th of the flush draws that I "should" be flopping unless I'm using tracking software and going through various filters to try and see what the hell is going on with my game.
Because, in all honesty, I've been using DriveHUD for my past 8k PLO hands (small sample obv, but I only 3-table and I've only recently gotten back into poker) and—while I feel like I'm making reasonable plays in 95%+ of the hands I mark for review (and then break down and run simulations on)—I'm having extremely disappointing results and I've been trying to figure out what the problems are. (tl;dr: I'm having a ton of trouble making heads or tails of it. The BB is my second most profitable position, for example. Like, what? And my VPIP/PFR/3bet are on the high side but every day I try to find more folds PF, and my bb/100 when I PFR is 49, so that's at least not a negative on the whole, even if perhaps it could be more positive.)
And, as you can obviously see (and are so eager to generalize from), I'm posting hands for review here.
And, far less obvious to you: I'm watching a ton of PLO content on YouTube (old Galfond videos, Joey Ingram videos, JNandez videos) and I've read Hwang's first two books. (I keep coming close to subscribing to RIO, too. But I feel like I should exhaust other resources first.)
Like, I'm working really hard on stuff I can help IN ADDITION to annoyedly noticing "oh, hey, I'm statistically 'supposed' to be seeing better flops with suited ace hands".
And you can't be expected to know most of the above, but I can expect you—just as, like, a human—to not weirdly go out of your way to personally and condescendingly attack me. Not a line I took, not an UTG opening range I posted... just a weird version of me as a person that you've extrapolated from one admittedly spewy hand.
Like, maybe just don't act like that in general. It's dickish.
And I'll work on finding more leaks and... erm... being less defensive on the internet.
tl;dr: Your sample size on me is way too small to be taking such a weirdly aggressive and condescending line.
