I have come across this "Joseki" a few times and i'm not able to see a good answer when playing white.

I hope this haven't been posted yet.

So what next for white?

First off, always take what Kogo says with a grain of salt.

Anyways, isn't this simple sequence good enough? B can't both protect the weakness in the corner and prevent White from capturing :b5: with 'b'.

Oops, yeah I misplaced the stone. It looks like it can be remedied though regardless of ladder:

But is whites position better than black now? The two white stones (d15) look a bit strange. Black can still play at the head of the two stones (g14), threatening ladder (at h16) and then capture the two white stones on the left.
If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week.

Certainly, I'd be interested if Black can play this :b7: well enough to put White at a local disadvantage.

I think white can play this move, no? Seems dangerous for black.

Hmm, you're right. White doesn't seem to have a good response locally. Another sad day for the empty triangle, thanks to topazg.

Having a look at this move next. Also it seems white can extend to :b1: before he ataris the cutting stone.

Ko? If so, that's some unnice aji black has in his position. Of course, black has other moves that :b1:, but from my reading :b1: is the strongest resistance. Of course, I haven't read it out very thoroughly due to lack of time, so there's a good chance I'm missing something.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.
