For some reason, I didn't even consider the possibility of a non-local response. This exchange makes many of my variations not work, so I don't think I have a choice but to take a hit in the center. Hopefully I can get some compensation.

I had thought that "a" was a ko threat, imagining that White would connect at "b" if I pushed through, but if White connects at "c", then I don't think I have anything. So I might need to look for useful ko threat moves. It's a semi-picnic ko in that I don't really need to win if I have some good followup moves, as I'd originally sort of written off that lower side. However, I could have hane'd underneath at the very beginning and kept territory down here. I didn't because that centre is big ... which means if I'm going to lose this ko, I ought to neutralise the centre fairly completely really.
EDIT: lol, just realised that's no ko. I may play differently for ...

Black can choose to lose the side and let me keep sente, or to enter a fight that looks like it ends in a huge ko that might be for the life of the huge black group on the left. I am still doing some reading as to whether the ko can be avoided, but I don't think so.

I've assumed you're pushing again. Please feel free to play a different if not
Wrong again, there is no ko. I would have been much better playing the hane underneath. I'm guessing I've maybe lost 15 points down there, in exchange for good access to the centre. Doesn't feel like a particularly great deal, but then the left hand side wasn't good for him either. I'm guessing the game is fairly close right now.

This is an offer of a compromise. If he connects at 'a' he is allowing my group to connect to the center, and keeping my center moyo intact. If he connects at 'b', I play at 'c' and we have the same ko fight we would have if I had played directly at 'c', but now Black has less eye potential.

I had a brief moment of panic when I thought the ladder didn't work for here, but no worries. I am pretty happy with this result. W keeps the center blocked off and took a chunk out of B's territory on the bottom. Since trying to run with the cutting stones doesn't work, and must end in gote, I expect him to connect directly with H1. I think the best response is to catch the two black stones in a ladder with J6, but I will read some more before I decide.

I think 5 is the connect, but I don't think black will go this route, but will instead connect underneath? I don't actually understand why black played the kosumi the previous move, but after that move I think not connecting would be inconsistent.
Edit:
