Is this an acceptable play given that I still have some implied odds against a very aggressive opponent?

Preflop call is pretty bad. Out of position with 76s and not getting a super great price either. The reason why people say 76s has good postflop playability is cos they're talking about pots with good stack to pot ratio. Here the flop pot will be so big in relation to your stack that you will most likely not be able to play profitably. If you hit a 7 or 6 will you stack off happily? Flush draw and straight draw are about 11% each for flop chance, and even then we will only have about 35% equity even vs hands like missed AK.

If he is aggressive even 5bet jamming is better than calling the 4b here imo, but by far the best option is to fold to the 4bet.

+1 metza.

3bet bluffs should fold to 4bet, or 5bet bluff. But calling with a bluff doesn't make sense.
