Not sure if I prefer black or white here, maybe black a little as I think the continuation at
a is powerful; I feel white's last 2 moves (presumably) of approach top right were dubious as this approach attacks white's m3 stone.

Prefer black, white's shape on left has too many holes and
a is ever better now. If black plays the marked kick to take sente he should use his sente to take care or m3.

Black tries to run with 1. I think from White's perspective moves 2, 4 and 6 are almost forcing, but now what? My intuition tells me to let Black connect underneath to use sente, but where? What would your thought process look like?

Do you think that you will lose sentence if you prevent Black from connecting under? What sequence do you expect?

Typical would be something like the diagram below by analogy with the usual joseki when White plays the shoulder hit at L16. White can live in the corner but right now would just like to make Black decide whether to block at 'a' or 'b'. White will tenuki after Black's next play, leaving the potential in the corner for later. The question arises where to play next. Should White take the empty corner or play immediately against the upper left with something like 'c'?

Is 3 a good idea here? My idea would be to sacrifice a stone to get White closed in and to build up outside influence if White tries to escape. Or what would u play instead of 3?

Because of the 5-4 point, white still has a lot of scope to maneuver in the corner and get a decent result. Your
looks like it's inviting white to push and cut off
, which seems somewhat playable. I might be more inclined to play
one point to the left, so as to help the black bottom group more without damaging
as much. If white then pushes out, black can just follow along on the 4th line, getting stronger effectively for free.

Here's another example, White to play. I like 'a' more than 'b' for it seals in Black. What do you think?

Locally, white's shape looks painfully broken and white needs to choose which side to build and which to abandon. Is this a game position with something going on in the top right?

Here White tries to split with 1 and I wonder what's the best black responce. My idea is 2-6 which'd leave White weak. Anything better/sharper?

Thank you, hyperpage, for this info. It's not my beloved Split-Fuseki, but it's some kind of a similiar thing. I actually feel happy, some pro's appreciate my strategix idea
