what I think Brians saying is the 7,4 itself is irrelevant. It's being impossible to read. playing 7,4 hoping to hit the flop hard is missing the point. infact it's one of those hands you'd probably rather miss with. with a 7,4 off on an A high board you know you're bluffing. when you have 7,4 suited and flush you don't know if you're best or not. if you're the kind of player showing down 7,4 people are going to be calling you with suited high cards and suited rag Aces to try and catch you.
The way I see 7,4 it's almost like playing blind without your opponent knowing. you can pretend you're cards are anything and aslong as you have the ability and the stack to convince your opponents and you can reasonable accurately put them on a hand and spot if the are not passing then 7,4 is as good a hand as any.
Although 2,2 is statistically ahead of A,K we all know that AK is the better hand because it's easier to know where you are in the hand. in the same way 7,4 is a better hand than A,9 because at least you know you have filth and are stealing. If the board reads J,9,3 I think you're better off having 7,4 than A,9.
