theres a statement i seem to hear a good bit that i NEVER understand.

how do you want to check-behind, but call his push?? that, to me, just seems like saying, "i want this to be small, but if he makes it really big, i will snap call."

please explain, if possible, and help me see this one cause i cant.
checking behind is sosososososo bad. I think we can lower the chances of QT a bit because some players would fold it on the turn. I think the only mistake you made in this hand was not over-shoving the river.

Now you figure it out:
- what range am i putting him on?
- what actions will a standard bad passive opponent take with the possible hands in his range if you bet $5.
- what actions will a (ditto) take if you overshove.

maybe a hint: What action is he taking if you min bet?

Also here would be a possible answer to one of the questions:

1. If i bet $5, i think my opponent is going to raise QJ or better, And i'm including AA and QQ in his range since people love to limp them utg. I think he's calling with JT, J9, and J8 but folding everything else. (obviously, i don't think this assessment is correct its just an example. If you did believe this assessment though, do you think betting $5 wqould be a decent play?)
