there are also times when the flop comes 776 and you raise the flop getting way the best of it

How do you get way the best of it against a 9-outer? (Two overcards plus a 6 counterfeits your hand.) The problem with 44 is that usually either your opponents make a small mistake (drawing to a live hand with just barely not enough odds) or we are making a big mistake (drawing to a hand that has nowhere near odds to make it).

That is why, as you say, this is a tough hand to play postflop if the flop doesn't have a 4 or isn't AKQ.
