One thing to remember is that you got to choose your approach, and end in sente (in this thread's case twice!). If white is already willing to give you that much, it's hard to expect too squeeze too much more out of it in the future. That's why I'd subscribe to the camp that says to build more elsewhere and see if white can catch up. I don't think white will be eager to add yet another move on the left side. If white ends up jumping into black's right side, black can use an attack on those stones to build strength to jump into the left.

Thank you all for the feedback. This gives me some ideas and confirms that my invasion was... too greedy

I don't like it when White pushes at g5 because it flatens me and it's sente, but it did complicate the invasion a bit...

For example, I feel the following sequence would still be difficult for me to handle. The moyo looks even bigger now, but black needs to answer. Or is this bad for white? (My counting is horrible...)

Playing at the boundary of mutual moyos is a similar option, which might be better in this particular position. You reduce your opponents moyo while expanding your own moyo. Again you need to count to see if this gives you enough territory to win.

As I just mentioned my counting is horrible, but this appears very difficult for black because the right side appears easy to invade, whereas the white left side is solid territory (maybe 50-60 points?), and it's white turn.

i think you misunderstand my point
when i said that
$$Bc Reduction post probe.
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bc Reduction post probe.is better.
i was comparing two and this other diag was inferior to this.
i think above move is really bad..but still better than your suggestion.
therefore your suggestion is not worth considerting. <---this was my point.

My point was that I wasn't sure what to do after plunking a stone in the middle of the board.
Looking at Edlee's reply, I guess I need to simply jump out and leave the stones at the top because they are pretty much alive.
I have received many ideas, so the next step is to apply them in game
Off to a Goldfish exhibition in Osaka now, thanks for the help again peeps!

dont need to defend there. 9 would be wrong move because white will attack from other side..

You might like to follow this OGS game of mine I'm playing in which my opponent played tsuke-nobi joseki to see how I deal with it. I am pretty sure it is a mistake but not a major one. Of course he is a lot weaker than me so when, as seems likely, I win perhaps you can't deduce so much from it due to me playing better elsewhere.
