I don't mind at all. Maybe if Uberdude comes closer to living, then it will actually be a bit educational to me as to where I could have gone better.

Ok, so I'd like to try this connection. Kirby played tenuki to the top right and DrStraw cut here which fixed a lot of bad aji, so let's see what I can do with it...

Okay, you don't give me a lot of options at this point.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

There is still the ko aji at the marked area, but does black really want a ko, given white's threats around the 'c' area? Maybe black can play there first, but ko can't be that comfortable for black in this game.
