Default How bad have I done so far?

SB is a 59/18/1 and the reason I'm at the table. He can't fold a pair, and he calls with gutshots and any draw.
Other homeboy is a multi-tabling 17/8/3 who either buys in low at all his tables or is losing tonight.

Preflop: I am the BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Fold preflop.

Bet on the turn is fine, because MP1 is likely to bet just about anything after being checked to on the flop. You might get him to fold a better hand like 9s or 10s if he isn't paying too much attention to how you play. You are almost certainly ahead of SB.

Oh, and fold preflop.

I like the turn bet. The TAG will fold a lot of stuff that you want him to here and you're getting value from the donk.

Do you bet the river if TAG folds and you do'nt improve?

I'm guessing Shant made the call based on the fact that the A-grade Banana was involved. Shant figures he'll get payed moff far more than usual if he hits his hand, add to this the fact that Shant is supposedly better than his other opponent and this make this call a marginally profitable one. As for the turn bet, I'd rather call and have the aggressor hang himself for another BB. But yeah I think your ahead.

Supposedly is right. I think it's more likely I'm a fish.

For Jason and Rob, isn't like 3-4 handed call with any two suited plus the donk that calls to the river is in the hand so if I hit a flush I'll get paid off?

You're getting 5:1 preflop, but more importantly it's gonna be 3-handed, so you'd really want to be calling with hands like this when there's a good chance of your hand not having to make it to showdown to win. Against these guys, I don't like it.

Why not checkraise the flop? It would be awesome to get losing TAG out and double awesome if he folds a pair. Its not that bad if he has an ace and 3 bets and it doesn't seem like goofball is going anywhere.
