Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?

The same reason that there wasn't a "9/11" before 9/11. Anti-american terrorists certainly existed long before that, didn't the same group try to hit the WTC and FAIL, a long time before 9/11?

Re: KQ UTG in Party Million

Given that your opponent called a raise, I'd put his hand range on:

a set: TT
4.6% chance of winning

small flush: 9d 8d
2.3% chance of winning

big diamond: Ad Ks
44% chance of winning
