The reason it's simple : unless it's an opening I played often, he will be more familiar with it than me. So, approaching a 3-4 with my second move (If I suspect he might go for an orthodox opening instead I might just let him do so, because I know it relatively well). In this position, I honnestly don't like letting him enclose and pincer me when I approach the lower right stone. Because why gift your opponent such a good move? Why low? Well, why not? Maybe it's because I'm playing through Shusaku's games at the moment.
