I considered making a smaller bet on the turn. On the flip side why risk your whole stack when half your stack does the job? However, I also felt if I pushed I would make it more difficult for my opponent to call. I really had no idea how well she played, so if I make another turn continuation bet the likelyhood of her calling increases compared to me pushing. Pushing if done with discretion sends a powerful
message to your opponent especially if you can bust them if they call. I balanced these two ideas together and that's why I ultimately decided to push. I may have been more likely to give up on the turn if my opponent were not a female. Please don't take this as a sexist remark.
