Three Three Point Invasion With Keima
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: The 3-3 point invasion with keima

In addition to the hoshi there is now a keima present. White invades. Black blocks off the wider side. In this position, making the hanging connection? with 6 is a safe, thick move.

This joseki most often arises when the marked keima is a response to the marked keima kakari. In this position, connecting at 6 is almost obligatory.

What happens if Black tries to kill the invasion stones with 6 here ?

This is Black's severest continuation. The fight will depend on the surrounding stones. Locally, white is dead: after White 'b', Black 'c', 'd' and 'e' are miai. Note that Black 4 cannot be played at 'a'.
