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.

ok youre right. this hand isnt a great example. hes getting the best of it, just not way the best of it. my point was just that there is some pair value. even if it's small, it still contributes to set value
