What would the major differences be?

I find it remarkable you generously reply to 2plus2 posters year after year regarding your books and poker theory.
Against non-expert opponents you have to balance nothing, so the "obvious" line can always be taken and will usually be better.
It's like the example in the book where I talk about how in "theory" you should check back flush draws as the button PFR vs the big blind, since if you don't there are no flush draws in your checking range and there's a clear counter-strategy etc etc. Against most opponents (and I would assume nearly everyone who regularly plays NL$200-NL$500 live), this won't matter. Just insta-bet all your flush draws since betting is so effective in a vacuum (it both builds the pot in case you win and denies equity incredibly well).
Basically against mediocre players betting and raising is a much more effective than it should be, and you don't need to worry about your checking/calling ranges being balanced at all.
