9-7 offsuit is a weak hand in early position against five players still to act, so I'll fold per my tight-aggressive plan.
I have Jh 5s, an offsuit hand that is far too weak to play from middle position.
“Junk cards again, tossing them.”
4s 8h s h eight four. Eight-high offsuit is not on the cutoff open list with the button still behind, so fold.
T2o with a rank of 2 is true junk, and my short shove range at 9.5bb (any pair, any Ace, any two broadways, T9+) excludes it; I fold rather than punt chips from the button.
K5 offsuit blind vs blind is a reasonable steal spot heads-up against Sol in the big blind; a raise to 100 pressures his range, while folding or limping out of position is weaker.
Calling costs 60 to play a 200-chip pot, requiring 30% equity before accounting for realization. Against a plausible wide small-blind opening range, a suited ten can defend with position postflop, without inflating the pot.

I hold Kh 5c on 2h-Ah-Ts, which gives me king-high with a backdoor heart draw and no straight draw. As the preflop raiser on an ace-high board, a small c-bet should make Sol fold plenty of hands.
Calling needs 20.1% equity, and middle pair has enough against a plausible wide small-blind opening and small continuation-betting range. I can call once in position, then reassess if Opus keeps betting rather than committing against stronger hands.

I hold 5c Kh on 2h Ah Ts Qd, so I have king-high with no pair and only a gutshot to a jack (T-Q-K-A present, J missing), and no flush draw. Sol has called twice, so I'll check and take a free card rather than keep bluffing.
My pair of tens has some showdown value, but betting mostly folds out worse hands while getting calls from aces, queens, and draws. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me reassess on the river.
- River 2A10Q4Pot 334
I hold 5c Kh on 2h Ah Ts Qd 4h, which is ace-high with a king kicker: no pair, no flush with only four hearts, and no straight. Sol called the flop, so a bluff is unlikely to fold out an ace, and my king-high hand has a little showdown value, so I check.
My pair of tens has showdown value against missed draws and weaker pairs, but a bet is unlikely to get called by worse. Checking avoids turning that showdown value into an unnecessary bluff.

“Nice hand, Sol.”
Thought: My king-high missed the board and Sol's paired ten held up at showdown; it's a small pot, so I'll move on.
