7754 has you crushed, strong one-way hands don't play very well HU. The only hope for our hand is if the pot is big already or if he bets it too lightly in proportion to the pot. He's about a 2:1 favorite, maybe even less if hes single or double suited.
AA-hi-hi on an A-lo-lo board is really dangerous and kinda misleading. Top set looks so strong, but chances are good that they have lo locked up already and are freerolling you for a straight or flush.
