Well, in all likelihood, Villain1 has the nut flush draw, and Villain 2 had QT. Since you are OOP, I think check-fold if somebody pots it after you.

And check-over call a PSB if the opportunity is given?

wouldnt like calling a pot sized bet here even if you were able to get 3:1 on your money, you're a pretty big dog here to fill up especially cause you're blocking one of your outs

unless you could somehow know the nut flush draw isnt out there, gotta painfully let this one go unless you get nice odds

Thanks guys.

I checked the turn, Villian1 bet $5, villian2 called, I called, getting 1:4.2. River was a beautiful 2x. I bet 1/2 pot, both folded.

imo u should find a better game. if villain is folding str8 to half pot in 25PLO, either they think u are rock of ages, or the game sucks. find some fish or make the game good for you. (i.e bet raise bet raise!raise!raise!)

OR, villain 1 never had a straight and was (semi-)bluffing after seeing the check from the guy who potted it on the flop.
