Finally, consider that most authors state that nearly all profit comes from AA and KK and that most players break even or maybe make a slight profit on the rest of their hands.

I've heard this many times before, and it's misleading. It's true that if you take away AA and KK that it's difficult to be a break-even player, but that's only because you have to keep putting in blinds.

A more accurate statement would be "The winnings from hands other than AA and KK are generally barely enough to stay ahead of the money you lose from forced betting."
