No choice. While the move does allow White to make a stronger squeeze from the outside (for those who don't understand, picture the difference a move such as J6 by W makes when I have a stone at G4 instead of G3), it provides me with a lifevest of playing H2 to make my second eye. If he takes the time to play H2 (unlikely), it just gives me an extra move to move out safely.
Alright, so now I want to look back at the last 20 moves and just see how things have been going for me:

is expected. Actually, if it was me, I might have bumped

first, and then played

, just feels more natural to me and also prevents

, which helps me settle fairly easily. One thing I'll be adding on my to-do list is to ask someone stronger (or hey, maybe Tabemasu post-game) what the difference between the two ideas are.

-

can be regarded as a one-way street. It's also joseki, but it's really hard to memorize it the wrong way because the purpose of each moves are very clear.

blocks me from digging too deep into the corner.

tries to get a piece, just enough to settle and make happy life.

-

is a forcing sequence that helps solidify both sides.

prevents me from making the second eye, so naturally I move out with

to try and make eyespace elsewhere while trying to prevent myself from getting sealed.
