Hence the mentioning of a nitty 100% fold to steal of the person you're stealing from.

Hands like 74o is pushing it though. If you do get called, don't continue with less than 2P+ obv.

If I'm stealing with a hand as weak as 74o, I'm defo not giving up every pot unless I flop 2 pair+. We're obv still c-betting favourable boards. I'm not ever doing it in the first place though unless he's a huge nit.

That's correct. As I said, I really don't like steals from the small blind with 74o. But if you are going to do it, c-betting is absolutely essential. Indeed, there are lots of players whose concept of "blind defense" consists of calling the pre-flop raise, hoping to hit something on the flop, and giving up if they don't.
