Ok, I guess this is a horrible call pre-flop. After I pressed the call button, I asked myself "Why the he11 did I do that?". On the flop, I have the 2nd nut straight, a baby-flush draw, and 3rd nut low. Obviously, I became an extreme luck-box on the river to spike the wheel card.

Was this a complete -EV play?

As far as hand selection goes, my double-suited low cards did look appealing.

Looks like Villain1 likes to overbet pre-flop with marginal A2xx, and Villain2 likes to play with garbage.

This is -EV the whole way. When you play a hand like 23xx, ur looking for an A on the flop with another low for the low and that is it. If you put the initial raiser on A2xx, then ur low is no good and ur drawing to 3 outs (if ur lucky). You then have odds to call on the flop if u have the nut flush draw and they are high cards, however u r now playing for half the pot and are only getting ~4:1 on ur money and u dont even have the nut flush draw. this is a terrible -EV play and u r very very lucky that u didnt get chopped. what do u think people have when there is an all in and a call? You think ur flush draw is even live, a lot of times that will be dead. Just fold this, simple as that. I dont understand the push there either, they will both call u if they are betting/calling pot.
