One Space Jump Connection From Two Wall

I find this happening to me a lot. A two stone group is surrounded and down to two liberties. You need to connect out, but an extension is too slow (and makes an empty triangle). A one space jump seems the only other choice... but will it work?

The simple case:

Seems good! But I seem to lose the stones a lot in similar situations.

Be warned!

If either A or B in the diagram is taken by white, black is in trouble!

This either! (unless you can escape to side)  

As with anything, surrounding stones make a big difference.

Can't help you here though!  

Let me know if you have any other input on similar situations!
