I'm going way, way beyond my depth, but does this work after white L2 (assuming black can't escape or make an eye in the J5 area)?

I have to be careful here. I think white is trying to get some safety for his right side group, which will weaken my group there. Then he can play a or similar, which I will have to answer by living with my bottom group, and he can attack my right side group strongly.
On the other hand, if I just connect on the second line, I have made a nice yose gain, since white loses the chance to capture and I gain the first line hane in sente.
I think if I connect, my right side group is not in terrible trouble yet. He will probably add another move there, then I can hop into the center again. He might be able to set up the cut at b, but in a pinch I can discard the marked stones, which costs less than he is giving me on the edge anyway. So I do it.

what i played is very urgent for both black and white. i made the game very complicated but..not complicated enough. but i think black is rattled by my complicated attack which is good. i assume he will make mistake and one mistake is all i need to win. i am not too far behind.

OK, he took the shared eyespace on the right, but in gote. So I move out into the center.
I have to be careful to stay away from the bottom. Any move he makes in the K7 area might be enough to set up a kill of my bottom group. For example if I jump to K9, his peep at L8 could make a difference.
Eventually I will probably have to play K2 in gote to live. That won't feel good, but it is worth several points, so not a total loss.

I will try to break through, to keep pressure on his right side group. His last two moves there didn't help him all that much, I can still play S11 and connect above or below. The best defense to my own weaknesses is to make sure he has one too.
