Ko fights are fun, ko fights are great. But as MW said a while ago, don't fight it if you're not going to get anything for it. This seems small at first blush, but this buys me something that I like. Now that my stones are safe, I can peep at the hanging connection, then either play to separate white's groups or connect my peeping stone, most likely in sente. If I connect the peeping stone, that gives me a wall facing my top right corner stone, which I quite like the idea of. Additionally, though I seem to have lost everything on the left, I have more forcing moves against the left center now that my group is iron-clad. White has something like 70 points (loose estimate). That puts me behind on the board for cash, but after this sequence, I will be far stronger on the top, the only remaining interesting area.
Thoughts? Was this a bad time to give up the ko?

Here's the peep I was talking about. How this goes depends on my opponent's response.

Ah, I had expected my opponent would try something more complicated. Not sure if that would have been better or worse. Well, let's make our defective wall to claim some defective territory. One nice thing is, those white stones in the bottom right still aren't <quite> alive, so I may get a few more forcing moves against them later. Since my opponent has so many points in the bottom left, I'm trying to get to a situation where 'I' have the majority of the thickness and opportunity for growth.

Right. As I said before, the wall is defective. My opponent can poke into it, push me back, and capture one stone for stability if he chooses. However, in doing so, he is pushing me back on the fourth line. Would fourth line territory be enough for me? Depends on how things work out up top. Shaddy, are you aiming to capture P11, or do you have something deeper in mind?

I'm not sure if this is as good as Topazg's variation (I have a feeling it may not be), but this is what I was already working on posting when I saw him post it. I can be forced a little lower on the side to keep the corner (and build a wall outside).

This makes me a little nervous, but this seems like my best response. It threatens to attack my opponent's stone on a huge scale, it helps link to my reducing stone in the middle, and plays at the border at two moyos. I really don't think I'm going to get TOO much of the top, but I cannot play passively, or I will lose. I've been wanting this move for a long time, and it seems like a not-unreasonable response to my opponent's stone.
