Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

I wouldn't have thought to try that move. Maybe white is hoping for some sort of forcing exchange to turn the circled point into a full eye in sente? I can't quite figure out if black needs to respond, though. I don't think white can capture any stones, but there's also some danger of making a second eye on the side.

Okay, one eye. But I don't see another so I am going to remove the bad aji here.

I guess it was naive to think he'd play out the ladder. Nonetheless, there's still aji.
