So white probably wants black to play k5 to sacrifice on a small scale, but maybe black can resist with f5 or something. My first thought was to sacrifice like below. Question is what if black
a next. If black just plays
b white is happy enough with a big corner.

Fascinating. I'm going to call this an opportunity to get back in it, but I should be careful (and hold off making a move for a little while). Black has shape problems, and it's not clear to me that black's plan is good.
$$Wcm36
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm36I die in a ladder after a-b-c-d, but all's not well with black (whereas white's stones don't look awkward).
I guess black's goal is to cover (36) in sente, which seems over-optimistic to me.
If I can happily take sente and shift attention to top with my centre influence, I think I have a game. I guess my possible results are
1. Let black through to the left. Take bottom left territory, declare that black's been playing on dame. (Though it seems difficult to do this efficiently).
2. Close off left using black's shape weaknesses (if it's possible). Move to top, call bottom left territory endgame.
Or some combination of the two.

Well! I wonder what xoxo has made of all this. I guess I'm 5-10 points down now, which is, as they say, an endgameable amount ;p.
$$Bcm39
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm39I have some aji, I think.
Edit: This exchange has been a huge relief to me. Black's thickness is no longer radiating pressure across my board; mine is (though it looks pretty easily reducible).
finally i can make the blow. this gonna be a tough fight but i didnt found a solution for w to react on this hane in a proper way so this fight should be good for me:
