Now what?
Don't be silly, Bill. All my opponents are polite gentlemen that play the "correct" response!!
I went back to look at the example given in Jump Level Up, and I was wrong about the position, but the move is similar;

No explanation for if 5 is a hane, so no help from them
My first thought is that there are two cutting points to aim at;

I think I can cut the lower point directly, and end up with a big corner...But it will take a bit more reading to be sure that white can't get a better result on the outside. Of course, when I say "easy", I mean for someone that knows what they are doing
I imagine more people are familiar with this shape rather than the other problem, but being familiar with seems to be a bit different than actually knowing something.
