Sweet! I think White could have (and probably should have) kept the pressure on me and made my life harder. Now I've escaped, and I might be able to do ore damage to the bottom and corner. The center is going to be a mess for both players, so the corners and the sides are going to important areas to secure in this game.

So I just connected, it at least gives me sente, as he has to protect the cut
The first cut looked fine to me. Neither of the ladders works for black because of the immediate atari. Certainly as soon as black plays at black's out of trouble and white has to start worrying about his own aji on both sides.

And again I'm very uncertain about the outcome.

This is one of those cut now ask questions later positions. Maybe you cannot read out the position if you cut, but you know that not cutting sucks the big one.
After all, White is two or three stones ahead in the local fight, depending on how much to count the Black 2-4 stone. How bad can the fight be? If you can read that the cut does not work, OK. Otherwise, faint hearts and fair ladies and all that.
Edit: And after the cut White would be 3-4 stones ahead locally. How much of an advantage do you need?

His influence in the upper right is becoming big, but I think it's more urgent to defend the corner. There's a lot of aji starting with black R6, he can either cut off my R8 stone or live in the corner. Maybe he can even live in the corner starting with R3, I'm not sure. So I defend the corner for a good junk of territory

Ok, he spoiled my fun in the corner, but now I'm fully connected. He still has some issues to fix, like H3 and his floating C5 stones. That K16 stone is also looking pretty isolated up there ...

I must get out to not get killed. I decided against a one point jump to the left because black splitting my stones then is more powerful, as my stones are nearer to each other. The kosumi to the lower left doesnt get as near to black's stones as the one point jumps, but it's slower. So I decided for the one point jump downwards. Everything else is cuttable.

Hmmm ... is his L7 group strong enough? I think there are a lot of options available to Black on this board ... enough that I'm sure I'm going to screw this game up somehow ...

Creating eyeshape and using my K16 stone as help. If I just jump again he can do 2 peeps and also, if he jumps again, too, he gets closer to my weak group on the left, which I should avoid
