Awkward hand means awkward river

You know what i mean.
When the concept of value betting has been developed there were no Micro-Stakes, and no Theory about Small-Stakes Holdem.
Adjustments have been made to MS and SS. Why its important i stated in some posts before. Because of simplified VB-concepts for lower stakes, ignoring and not discussing exceptions and dynamic changes in conditions. Conditions changes in the course of time. For example if playing-styles changes playing concepts change their values.

Example:
If you play against players who have "learned" to checkraise the best hand on the river (it doesn´t matter here if its good or bad play) and you value bet your weaker hand on the river, you are the guy paying off in the long-run due to the raise. So the players who learned to checkraise on the river make your "learned" play of value-betting not profitable. But you learned that value-betting is profitable and you don´t realize that you lose by your play against the checkraisers.

Don´t ask me to explain Pot-Equity. I think you know exactly what i mean and if i should err read some books again.

By the way:
Pot Equity is the only tool you have to figure out a bet or a raise. Nothing else you explained when you talk about your heads-up decision. I dont understand really your multiway decision process but you have a clear bet if you have enough pot-equity to figure out a bet.

I cap it here. I have no gains from further discussion of basics.
