You always have a choice between a solid connection and a hanging ("tiger's mouth") connection. Black would like to play this move anyway, so combining the hane and the connection into one move is very efficient. (The solid connection, of course, allows B to respond to S3 at S2, so there is a trade-off.)

Here it's more important to make the solid connection
in the game -- so B can block W's S3 hane.

B should've been very happy to block with

in the game), in sente --
if W tenuki, locally W is dead:

I don't disagree. (That's what I meant by "respond to S3 at S2".) I just think it's a good example of the hanging connection doing something
besides creating bad aji - move that serves two purposes simultaneously.

Overall I'm not really sure what to do here... Here are some rambling thoughts
a- This move seems like a forcing move giving me sente and pushes out to the center while strenghtening his wall, however it makes a strange shape
b- adds some eyespace but ends in gote
c adds eyespace but if he plays t8 im forced to resond.. read again ... awful when he plays s6
d helps move the group out to the center solid shape but leaves concerns baout eyespace and where am i running too?

I think black has the stronger position here, but I don't like this last move. It gives white the hane at "a" and the cut at "b".

I would have been happy to connect. I feel like it's giving white chances to cause trouble and maybe get out of a dangerous spot.

Very surprised he would tenuki in this situation. The bottom right seems very urgent.
I am going to try and make use of the aji created by the o3 stone

oh well, i was expecting something else, i honestly thought he would jump into the center on the left side, or do something with the group thats floating on the right side, but the good thing about this move is it should be sente for me because he has to go for the cut and i get to play next, now for a good move
so far i like:
i like K4, F15,& i like Q6
i like D9, D3 seems pro-ish, i like D10 too
or i might just play P4 to avoid the cut fight
naw i can win the cut fight
read read read was something i learned the last game
and im putting it into practice
