Put an overpair in against suited connectors and QQ vs 76s is the result: QQ wins 77.8%, 76s wins 21.9%, and 0.4% of boards chop, a 3.6-to-1 edge. Even at a 3.6-to-1 deficit, 76s keeps about 21.9% because suited connectors attack three ways at once — pairing either card, completing a straight, or filling the flush.
At a final table the raw 77.9% / 22.1% split is only half the story — ICM bends it. As the 22.1% underdog, 76s pays an extra survival premium, so the chip-EV "close enough" call can be a clear ICM fold. The pure equity sets the floor; the payout ladder sets the real price.
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 21.9% equity is real but realized best in position with the chance to fold out the pair, not by stacking off blind.
