Google Reader is bad on this point. It "read" the post only one time and if the post is updated the old version is alway show in Google reader. Also if the publication date is updated Google Reader don't update the post! The other big limitation of Google Reader is the absence of a ping system to tell it that a new post was published.
It's listed as being specific to their Blog Search, but it may be reasonable to assume it hooks into Reader as well.

Tanks Dan, I know this ping service from Google. It work only for Blog Search. Google Reader and Google Homepage (iGoogle) is updated by the Google Feedfetcher that is not relied to the Google ping service. Maybe Google will update the ping service for working with GR too.
