The range this is computed against
The classic recreational flatting range — a player who "likes to see a flop". Any pocket pair, any suited ace, king, queen or jack, every playable suited gapper, all the offsuit aces and a stack of offsuit broadways. Around half of all hands, and almost none of them are folded before the flop.

76s has 40.4% equity all-in preflop against a loose-passive calling range — 670 combos, 50.5% of all hands. Seven-Six Suited wins the pot outright 39.2% of the time, loses 58.4% and chops 2.4%. Your own two cards remove 35 of those combos before the flop is even dealt — a blocker effect this number already accounts for, because every combo containing one of your exact cards is stripped out of the range first. You are ahead of only 45 of the 635 combos still live (7%) — the rest of the range is level with or in front of you, which is why the figure sits below even money.
The classic recreational flatting range — a player who "likes to see a flop". Any pocket pair, any suited ace, king, queen or jack, every playable suited gapper, all the offsuit aces and a stack of offsuit broadways. Around half of all hands, and almost none of them are folded before the flop. Inside that range, the combos that hurt 76s most are 77 (18.3%), 88 (18.5%) and 99 (19.8%); the ones you want to see are 63s (65.6%), 64s (64.9%) and 65s (64.4%). Across the whole range 76s's equity swings from 18.3% at the bottom to 65.6% at the top — the single 40.4% headline is the combo-weighted average of all of it.
A loose-passive calling range is the most profitable opponent in poker and 40.4% is why: even against half of all hands 76s is not a favourite, which tells you it is a hand that wants a cheap flop rather than a big preflop pot.

Wider, almost always. 76s has 40.4% equity against a loose-passive calling range (50.5% of hands) but 33.6% against a 4-betting range (3.2%). Equity against a range is mostly a question of how many weak hands the range still contains — which is why the same holding can be a monster against a button open and a fold against a 4-bet.
