use propokertools.com and simulate. you can also figure it out yourself by hand. in hold'em here's a trick : multiply your outs on the flop by 4 or on the turn by 2 to get your equity.

I dont think that is what he is asking.

If I read it correctly he wants to know how strong J7 is on that AK7 board. That question is basically impossible to answer. It depends on so many things. You could put it in one of those tools and pit it against a 100% range and see how it does against that, but the information you get will be fairly useless.

It's by no means impossible. Of course you do need to estimate a range which villain gets to the flop with, based on the preflop play. Once you've estimated that range, you can calculate your equity on the flop against said range, using Equilabs or a number of other tools. Or indeed manually if you prefer, but that would be much more painstaking.
