I guess he'll hane next. A question is wether these are best left as ko threats... if I can ko out of this than obviously not though. It also gives me great thickness facing the top. If I can't get ko out of this then I'll move on (yes I am too lazy/bad to figure it out now)

Alright, ko it is, but white takes first and has a lot of threats, local and otherwise. However, it's basically a picnic ko for me, so even if I just get a big move in for free it's worth it.

I think I would ignore anthing except these exchanges. The only threats I have are to make my corner group live and to cut off MW center group. Im curious to see what he thinks is most important

let me know if you disagree.
i will answer all his ko threats. i have many ko threats myself. ko fight will usually favor stronger player. i didn't really count ko threats but i dont mind giving up the corner if i can play two big moves and make sure his LR group is dead.
edit:
for those who (beginners) are intrested: it took me less than 1 second to decide to answer that threat. logic is very simple. no matter what happens best outcome for me is capturing lower right and at worst playing 2 big move somewhere else. if i dont answer his threat then i only get to play 1 move somewhere else instead of 2. it was very simple choice for me. not answering the threat is out of the question.
