You Don't Check Raise? You don't give odds to your opponent do you? Knowing when to bet and when to call are keys in both games.

I disagree with you there. Position in LHE is necessary so you can take advantage of some plays, like Free cards, etc. NL you can make up for the expectation later in the rounds because your Implied odds are better.

So, wait, you don't use odds in your decisions or do you? Sounds like you are talking about implied odds. In this case, the implied odds in NL are a lot higher and thus you are able to make up for previous mistakes.
