;B[f4]C[Thomas\: Instead of f4 Black could play a joseki at d4.

Playing a move in the obtuse corner such as h4 may also have been better.

Peter\: c4 is another way to joseki.]

If Black plays H4 instead,  _Black_ gets H4, rather than White getting H4.

(If White reconnects here, then White does so with j2 or i3, after which Black still gets a ladder escape, by playing i2 or j2.)]
;W[h4]
;B[k3]C[Eric\:

White was connected (due to the ladder escape fork at J2), so Black should get a ladder escape immediately by playing at I2, rather than give White the option of ignoring K1, leaving Black without a ladder escape.]
;W[j2]
;B[g5]C[Eric\:

By playing i2 first, Black can still guarantee the ladder escape.]

With i8 instead of this, Black gets just a ladder, rather than a connection to the 11-edge.]
