rivered a boat 3 way

Although that may be true, river squeezes are incredibly rare. I don't think I've ever seen one. As for JJ/88, I could see Newbie playing them like this simply because Buddy is the villain. I have played a decent amount against Buddy, and he preys on weakness, so some amount of sandbagging is necessary to balance things out.

I just don't see SB running a bluff over the top after a raise from Hero's spot, and pushing AA/KK/QQ would be suicide. The only hand that SB could do this weak lead and then push, while still losing to 55, would be the nut flush hoping for a call from a weaker flush, and that's really poking at a thin line.

good points - haven't ever played with the villain but you're right about OP.

just something to consider when raising the river - does Villain interpret OP's raise as a steal, since BB is obviously not very strong? Is he capable of a resteal push? I don't know how heavily you could weight that; depends on the flow of the game and how savvy newbie is, but it's worth keeping in mind if you raise and face a 3-bet
