Life In 19x19

My thought is that black can crawl to get liberties, and white won't have enough liberties (if black plays to kill first). You are right. Black can just capture the white stones before running out of liberties. I guess that answers my question.

To me this sequence seems quite dangerous. The only answer seems to be J18 which is quite unfavorable for black.
