Duplicate Keywords in multiple blog posts = bad or good?

I read something somewhere (can't find it now) that suggested you shouldn't duplicate a keyword you're targeting in multiple blog posts as they may compete against each other in search rankings.

Anyone have any experience with this? Say I'm targeting "mouse traps" and I write an article for "Poison Free Mouse Traps", make some links for it, and start seeing some search engine traffic for that phrase, maybe I've hit position 9 on Google.

Does it help or hurt to make another post called "Poison Free Mouse Traps Part 2"? Am I competing against myself in that case by now having two URLs for the same key phrase on my site?

Is it better to make an article for something like "Cruelty Free Mouse Traps" and internally link it back to "Poison Free Mouse Traps", giving the initial post more weight without stealing my own thunder, or does my site having more instances of that keyword help overall?

Any opinions or better yet, real world experience?
