2d 7c is offsuit junk, not in the early-position open list, so I fold.
AJo offsuit from middle position isn't in my EP/MP opening range, and the table's been aggressive so I'll avoid the marginal spot and wait for a better one.
I hold pocket eights (8d 8h) in the cutoff, folded to me with about 31bb, a clear open-raise. I'll go 2.5x to 100.
KQo is strong enough to call Opus’s cutoff open in position at roughly 31 big blinds effective; the 100-chip call needs 38.5% equity before accounting for postflop realization. Sonnet and Gemini can still squeeze, but calling avoids inflating the pot against a stronger continuing range.
A4o is a marginal hand out of position against a raise and a call, with Gemini still to act behind. Calling 80 into a 260 pot is not terrible on price, but I'd often be dominated and out of position. Raising risks a lot, so I'll fold to stay tight.
5-3 offsuit is one of the weakest hands in poker. Facing a raise and a call, folding from the big blind is the only sensible choice.

I hold 8d8h, a pair of eights below every board card (Q,A,K) with no flush or straight draw, and this monotone broadway board smashes the button caller's range, so I check and give up cheaply.
I have kings and queens, but the all-spade flop leaves me vulnerable to flushes, straights, and better two pair. A small bet can get value from weaker ace-high pairs and single-spade draws without building an oversized pot.
I hold 8d 8h, a pair of eights below every board card, with no spade and no draw on a monotone A-K-Q board. Sol's small bet still hits much of a button calling range, so folding to save chips before the blinds go up is best.
