1/2/5 PLO $600 deep preflop spot with 5789

I am in a game that is a 1/2 with a straddle sometimes.  I have great position with the fish 2 seats (V1) to my left and 2 active aggro players 1 (V3) and 2 (V2) to my right.  I am 100% card dead and trying to find anything playable.  There is a spot preflop that I thought was interesting. 

Everyone covers in this hand.  I have $600 and the button.  It is raised to $10.  I dont know what happened here but its $10 to me and I am on the button with 5s7s8c9d.  This hand seems playable for $10 OTB so I call.  The bb (fish, V1)) makes it $75.  He does this with AA hands and KK w broadway hands.  Action folds to 2 to my right (V2) who shoves for $120 total (this does not open the action) and V3 flats the $120.  BB cant reopen here so I am having to call $110 to get a pot of (120+120+120+25)=$385 (assuming V1 calls the 120 which he will 100% of the time. 

V1 range is AA KK and suited broadways.  V2 is shoving 90% of hands and V3 is flatting with a wide range of hands that are not premium hands (he would 4 bet shove here).  He can have my kind of cards with more gaps and other rundowns.  I have seen V3 play hands like Qd7d5s2s for $200 preflop!

I have 24% vs these ranges 5%, 80%, 50%:

I have good implied odds I believe too.  I struggled with this spot for a few reasons:

-I am card dead and trying to convince myself to play this hand
-I have the button and can flat and play flops profitably (but there is a small chance V2 V3 have a hand with JT in them which kills my equity).
-I considered playing the hand but thought I had to raise here and get most of my stack in.  If I pot it, I can make it 95% of my stack.  I thought this is a pot/fold spot at the time.  Looking back, it probably isnt close to a pot/fold situation. 
-I am running horrible and it effects my thought process.
