Cutting through

When Black cuts through instead, with B1 and B3, the position will become difficult for White if she fights on the left. Instead W4 is normal, trying to set up a driving tesuji.

Black has a choice at B5

Now B5 at a is the common play (at b and c are also pro plays).

Cross-cut

Cross-cut with W4

Black's marked pincer stone works so well with B5 that W4 here is hard to play. White at a and b have been tried instead.
