Default Loosening up for the party

This game was pure chaos. Cutoff is playing about 90% of his hands raising half of them, while MP is 60/30 and they absolutely hate each other. Everytime one is in a pot so is the other, CO has backdoored about 4 flushes on MP after peeling with undercards and has been called a child molester, homosexual, and various parts of the female anatomy about 15 times each. Anything reasonable to get in a pot with these two for less than 2 bets is worth it. BB seems like a fairly straightforwad tag, probably adjusting for these two guys some. I've been playing fairly tight waiting to pop these guys with anything reasonable.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

I have to play A7 here as MP open raises a ton of stuff just to play with CO, and CO cold calls here with anything. Equity wise I should raise, but I've reraised this duo about 4 times already with a-big and pairs and they are starting to slow way down when aces come. I rather shoot for some late street carnage with CO viewing MP as the aggressor in the hand.

Flop: (8.00 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks, CO checks.

I have no clue whatsoever here. I checked to see happened but it looks like a clear bet now just to put pressure on BB, the only guy with a brain, plus I wouldn't have to face two cold. Clearly misplayed?

Hmm wasn't expecting that to get checked, but there is no chance any of these guys are slowplaying except for BB. I'll bet now and maybe fold a better hand from BB.. Now the MP raise coming back could be air, or a ten or a caught str8, almost positive he bets a flush draw on flop. I guess I'll raise since I have the Ace [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and I can't even count the kind of crap I'd like to fold. Bet out and reraise here?

River: (15.00 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks.

Final Pot: 15.00 BB.

Now that I've over represented my hand and got a couple of callers I wuss out and check planning to call after making two pair. Missing value on the river now? If river blanks do you bet out praying for folds?
