If someone needs a better hand to call you with, than you need to raise, and they know this, and they haven’t been in a lot of hands, why would you c-bet into them?

I realize that, if they’ve been tight, you likely have the fold equity, and if they’ve been particularly loose, you likely have less fold equity. But, by the same token, the loose player is probably not playing the gap concept, and thusly, you should bet into him, and the tight player IS going by the gap concept, and you shouldn’t bet into him. This seems to all go against conventional wisdom, so I’m thinking there is something else to the connection I’m making (false connection perhaps) between the gap concept, and c-betting.

Also, in our above statements, assume that when we c-bet, the flop hasn’t hit us at all, and that we don't have a monster like AA-QQ.
