Preflop my call is very marginal, but 12:1 BTF, I can't resist.

On the flop the pot is T1400. I'm not afraid to give it one
shot. I do have top pair. On the turn I certainly don't like my hand, but the pot is becoming large. Now what I have is of secondary importance. My primary objective is to win the pot. Can I bet large enough to blow my opponent off her hand? Even if she has a better Nine does she want to
risk her entire stack? How does she know I didn't flop or
turn some crazy two pair hand from the blind? The only way
I think she calls is if the Queen helps her. I guess it's
possible for her to have Q9, but I doubt it. I certainly don't want to go busted, but on the other hand I'm not afraid to push if I feel the situations warrants such action.
