Interpoker E200PLO. I on the BB with E233 and get dealt Jh Th 2d 9c. Only 2 limpers - UTG and EP - and the SB completes.

4 see the flop of 8c 4c 9s. I have a straight draw, but nothing to get excited about as there are only 6 nut outs for me. It gets checked around.

Turn is 7s. So I made my straight but now there are 2 flush draws out. I bet outpot of E8. UTG folds, EP raises to E32 and SB calls all-in for E27. So it's E24 to me to call. I have the nuts at this point, but I assume EP does as well. And there are so many re-draws he could have (of which I have none) that I'm reluctant to push in here. I called.

River was the Js. Not what I wanted to see. This completes the spade flush draw and puts out a possible higher straight with QT - a very possible hand if he had JT in there for the straight. I checked and EP bet E51 all-in. So it was E51 to call into a E95ish pot. How do you play it?

I'd fold, hard to see you being ahead here often enough to call against two opponents. You need to be beating them BOTH about 20% of the time, and obviously you are (at best) tying with the guy who bet his last E51. So you're only going to get half a pot; your pot odds have just been halved. I think you are calling E51 to potentially split the E95 with the guy who bets the river; that means you're calling E51 to pick up E47, and that's if the all-in guy doesn't have you both beaten. I just can't see any way you're making any significant money from calling here, I think it's a pretty easy fold. All it needs is either player to have two weedy spades or a queen and you can't make a cent from this call. Even in the best case scenario, you'll get your last E51 bet back and pick up E47 from the all-in guy.
