i personally feel this is advocated too much. this line is very good against loose passives who dont bluff, which are numerous in small stakes games. this way, you dont miss value because they will call but not bet with a million hands you beat, and you still only pay one bet when behind, becasue they will only raise with hands that beat you. against tricky or tight opponents it may be better to check/call, on one hand to induce bluffs and on the other to eliminate the bluff raise. also, i think the general consensus is that river check-raises arent bluffs when OOP, so you can safely fold mediocre hands.
