I didn't find anything too cringe-worthy, but I noticed a few common things I do\:
- make moves that when responded to hurt two groups at once. This is something you had warned me about once
- make stupid shape
- wrong direction of play (I think understanding direction is pretty advanced, but I should at least be consistent. If my analysis says "go from top!" I should focus on that, instead of hopping back and forth)
- joseki mistakes
- reading mistakes, especially in the endgame where energies are low and tension is high! (more tsumego! more thinking!)

So, this sums up every wrong thing you can do in Go, I'll probably have a clearer picture as I go on with this reviewing+playing method.];W[dd]WL[894.398];B[pd]BL[891.165];W[dq]WL[887.23]C[I decided to mix 4-4 and 3-4 to be more flexible];B[fc]BL[885.541];W[cf]WL[880.316];B[co]BL[881.391];W[ep]WL[849.568];B[bq]BL[854.385]LB[dn:A][gq:B]C[This took me a bit by surprise, I'm not very familiar with this joseki I'll admit. I took a minute to think it over. The two most common responses according to Waltheri are D6 and G3 respectively.
I had thought about D6 but I didn't find it convincing for some reason (note to future self\: scribble down why!) and B looks a bit remissive.](;W[cl]WL[803.54]CR[ci]C[I figured that this would work well with my keima on top, because when I play C11 I get a nice double base!
I don't really like this move now that I see it again, I create yet another (potentially weak) group!
This move is, however, 8th in popularity on Waltheri, and has been used by players such as Shusaku and Go Seigen, which makes me think I might not have lost my mind just yet (yes, I checked the situation in which this move was played in their games and I don't think there was any tactical reasoning due to the situation at the side, purely strategic).];B[eo]BL[843.331];W[fo]WL[765.032]C[I really hesitated to play this move.

I opened my eyes and saw\: white has a huge side, black has nothing. Absolutely nothing! Why was I thinking that I was getting the short stick? Maybe because the last few black moves were pretty forcing, maybe because I still wasn't sure about the joseki I played. But as soon as I realize that I'm getting a ton of territory, all these silly things should be washed away.
Now I need to respond locally to make life, next priorities are close off the top corner, play on the big parts of the board.](;W[hq]WL[683.348]C[I decided to calmly play here because\:

//Corrections\:

A has one function\: It's the cutting group. It keeps B weak by making B now attached to the corner, and it keeps the corner not alive yet, or at least needing 8, and subject to sente moves.

Black is *very* bad here. C is a big issue for black and black A is awkward now.

White has a GREAT result. WHite is alive in the corner and pretty good in the center due to how weak black's two center groups are. Whie even has the pincer helping out. Black stands to gain nothing here, he will lose more as this continues.
