He's only got 12 left so I just push. If he had more I'd probably check behind.

I dont get this logic... what does the amount of money he has left have to do with whether or not you bet here? If you think you are ahead of his range, then you bet for value. Or, if you think you are behind but the player may fold a better hand, you may bet.

But betting because he's only got $12 left makes no sense as a rationale.

He'll call with a wider range cause he's have to call 12 in a 50 pot. Plus the fact that it's impossible for him to raise.

But that's not the reason. You don't bet another 24BB if you think you're losing simply because its all that's left. You know what I mean?

If you think he should bet, wouldn't it be because you think you have the best hand here? If the opponent is calling no matter what (likely in this case), then we only bet if we think there's greater then a 50% that we have the best hand here. Otherwise we're just arbitrarily increasing our losses.
