When a pair meets two bigger cards you get a flip, and 77 vs AQ is exactly that: 77 wins 53.7%, AQ wins 45.9%, and 0.4% of boards chop. The overcards lean on six live outs — either Ace or Queen pairs to take the lead — which is why the unpaired side converts about 45.9%, the math behind every "I have to gamble" all-in in a tournament.
Think in variance terms: 53.9% equity means 77 loses this all-in nearly 46 times in 100, so even a "dominant" spot is a coin you'll see come up tails plenty. Getting it in as the 53.9% favorite is correct every time; the 46.1% that goes the other way is math, not a misplay.
In practice, 77 vs AQ rewards aggression from the favorite and caution from the dog: 77 wants to realize its 53.7% edge by getting value and denying free cards, while AQ should lean on fold equity and position rather than hoping to win the pot at showdown about 1 time in 2.
