We're on the same page here. However, one street flows into the next so saying pre- flop doesn't matter is silly.
I'm not saying that preflop doesn't matter at all, but the deeper the stacks get, the less it matters. Sure, streets flow into one another in the sense that you raise preflop and you bet on the flop. I'm not sure what you mean beyond that, though, but I am genuinely interested to hear more.
On the other hand the streets can be totally disjointed at times. You can have aces, raise it preflop, bet it on a safe flop, then a measly looking 5 hits the turn and you suddenly run into a huge raise. That is not a good flow at all.
However, I see what your saying if I think about it like this: if you are playing in a 10 handed game where everyone has a couple hundred bb's behind them, then your preflop will matter more simply because of the number of people and the ability to camp all day. Pocket 2's might have reverse implied odds here.
If you're playing in a 3 handed deep stacked game, though, preflop doesn't mean much of shit besides establishing an initial aggressor. You can (and in my opinion should) raise with shit like 75s because preflop doesnt mean anything in this case and the blinds are coming around every 45 seconds.
