corner  

Why is this considered a mistake?

Korlon: There are a number of responses to this after black cuts. This move 4 by white is not joseki because, unless white has neighboring stones around, perfect play by black should lead to him getting a better result.

how about this example. now b got the corner and sente and white still a 3 stone wall in gote  

Sodavich: I have a lot of trouble punishing white's mistake. They say that only beginners rush to atari. What if white plays like this?

If the ladder works for black, I guess Black could try this:

Because if white tries to save the 3-5 stone, I think he dies in the corner:

However, I'm perplexed what to do if the ladder does not work. Thoughts?

unkx80: The usual idea is to hane-connect with B7 and B9.

unkx80: If W1 atari on the second line, then Black would be happy to let white crawl on the line of defeat.

Sodavich: Thank you!
