This variation gives me the wall and then a pincer of the approach stone doubles as an extension and a continuatio in the corner.

Seemed like the jump and press joseki would mitigate the value of my new wall, and I forgot about the variation in which white jumps from the pincering stone. So, A was out. For some reason, I felt the need to be slightly more conservative and chose this rather than B. I now prefer A.

Initial reaction was A, but that felt too defensive and would allow black to use the threat to connect to those stones more effectively in an invasion. This seemed to strike the right balance between offense and defense. Lizzie thinks this move is a disaster because she sees a way for black to get out.
