Just my opinion, hope it helps!!
While I get the point of value betting, I think that too often I am betting for value, getting called then done with the hand. When they call I often give them credit for beating me, which is what I would like to think I'm calling for if I'm in their position... I think it's a leak and I'm trying to understand it to fix it... betting to build a pot when I feel I'm ahead doesn't bother me... and sometimes bites me in the ass when I make a horrible range for opponent.
