I have a female that has been open for two days, and I think I will have two male flowers that will open tomorrow morning. My question will it pollinate after two days. I thought I read after a couple of days kins wouldn't pollinate. I also may have two other females that may open tomorrow, should I just shoot for them?

Shoot for the fresh ones. It is highly unlikely the old one is fertile. My understanding is the fertility period of a freshly opened blossom lasts only a few hours.

I gave had success pollinating a little after noon on day female opens. But even that is about the limit to how late you can pollinate. If you didn't have the flower covered the insects probably took care of it for you. Most growers get up at crack of dawn to increase chances of pollination.

I agree after early morning pollination chance drops and they're not going to get pollinated a day later.. If you didn't pollinate it, It's an open pollination. unless you hade no males at all.
