Example of Soksu

The "correct method" is respond a (the 3-3 invasion), when W1 is pincered by Black B2. An alternative to the 3-3 invasion is W3. This is what Koreans call "Soksu".

Hmm? I thought the "usual method" was to jump out at b. In any event, this example does not clarify the meaning of the term at all for me.

Clarification: W3 is self-inflicting or self-depriving from going 3-3.

Karl.. This is the joseki for jumping out at b (Instead of the counter-pincer, playing at a is more common...) You only jump out in certain occasions, d and c are other "valid" methods.
