I have no real choice but to reduce his liberties. At a glance, it is tempting to try to break out, but it does not work. For example:

The downside is, his wall certainly hurts the potential of the marked stone, but if he goes after it, I have the chance to attack the marked white stones. I feel OK about it. The game is simplified, now:

Obs:
There is a gap in Kirby's reading. Let's see if he wakes up in time. MW will not follow the order that Kirby shows in the diagram below. If he plays :w2: early as shown, he has to use a play to fill in at :w4:. However, if he plays :w6: and :w8: first, when he finally plays :w2: Black will be in atari after :b3: and White wins the fight. Actually Kirby has to capture the single stone by the time that MW fills in all his outside liberties. Then White has to take time to fill in at :w4: before playing :w2: (as shown in one of Kirby's other diagrams above).

His approach is good, I think. It is what I would have played if I were him. I will be satisfied if I make some life in this local area.

There's no reason to add risk to a position that I think I'm winning from. I'm not sure if the peanut gallery disagrees with my evaluation, but I think that I'm winning.

Of course, I don't want the following sequence:

But the aji around 'a' and 'b' leave me fealing uneasy. So let's just play in a simple manner. I just want to live here. I don't have grand plans in this area of white strength.

From the Peanut Gallery:

I'd rather be black. I think C3 was best. Nice positional judgement.

I tried to think of the strongest attack that I could, and this is what I came up with. Part of me wants to simply surround him lightly from the outside, while getting profit.

The part that made me try to attack more severely was the part that remembered a quote that Magicwand had some time ago. It went something to the effect of, "When your opponent is drowning, push him down, and don't let him survive".

I'm not sure if my move does this, but I'm going to try to "drown him".
