JJ vs 76s is the "big pair against live cards" spot: JJ wins 78.1%, 76s wins 21.6%, and 0.4% of boards chop. Even at a 3.6-to-1 deficit, 76s keeps about 21.6% because suited connectors attack three ways at once — pairing either card, completing a straight, or filling the flush.
Think in variance terms: 78.3% equity means JJ loses this all-in nearly 22 times in 100, so even a "dominant" spot is a coin you'll see come up tails plenty. Getting it in as the 78.3% favorite is correct every time; the 21.7% that goes the other way is math, not a misplay.
With the overpair, bet big and bet now — 76s has the draws to make your life miserable on later streets, so charging it the maximum before the flush and straight cards arrive is the entire plan. From the connectors' side, the 21.6% equity is real but realized best in position with the chance to fold out the pair, not by stacking off blind.

Does the JJ vs 76s probability change all-in preflop?
No. Once both hands are all-in preflop the odds are set by the cards alone — position, stack size and who bet first change nothing.
