Sometimes pot odds aren’t enough

I found myself in a hand with KJs. Flop comes up QT3 with two of my suit on the board. Two of my opponents had QT and I got trapped between them as they bet, raised, and re-raised–I’m pretty sure I had odds every time I called–and eventually they were both all in. Pot was $53 and it was $17 for me to call. With the open-ended straight and the flush draw, I decided to call. Didn’t improve and the two pairs took it. That was painful. The question is, was it correct? I think so.
