I have to admit, I was and still am completely lost when facing this cut. Maybe I'm missing something obvious but back in the game my opponent played this in two corners and several moves later I just could resign.

How to deal with :b4: here?

Pros tend to play a diagonal I would never have thought of (P18 in your diagram). http://dailyjoseki.com/browse/bwpwxibwnwwmbxh
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

If you had to resign 2 moves later, than you either missed the reading capabilities
to see what would be captured or failed to capture
and/or
where frustrated that it did happen (the capture).

If you are unaware of the strategic concept behind it (see below),
then the disadvantages might come slowly (black positions too narrow, see ex. in 2nd link).

On the other side, if White plays this just anywhere, then she is settling corners unnecessary (e.g. esp. in handicap games).

The strategic concept behind it:

Often played to overconcentrate (here Black) the colour who has to (or will) capture the cross-cutting stone:

Funny, the resulting position reminds me of a one from Attack and Defense, where forcing moves were explained ^^

Thank you for the link!

Hm, hard to meassure. I have experienced that I go blank everytime I have to face crosscuts. I start reading in every direction and get confused over the possible continuations, so that I end where I started - not knowing where to play.

Here are the diargrams from the actual game:

I think you played well up until move 10 (it's not the most common variation, but it looks even). However, I think move 10 should be atari from the other side:

Here, I think :w2: caused the problems. This move should have been one of the other joseki choices on the Senseis page. Good luck!
My name is Gijs, from Utrecht, NL.

When in doubt, play the most aggressive move

Haha, that's the exact thought I had when I looked it up, except I couldn't remember where I'd seen it before!
