Alright, at move 134 I am at about 25 points in the lead however, during the game I "miss" read this and was thinking that me and my opponent were even or extremely close to even. By the time my opponent resigned I increased the lead to I think near 55 points.
So at move 134 because of my "miss" reading I play well into white territory. I lived but quite notably I really do not think I should have. So I am looking for the way at how white could better handle the situation.

Obviuos I was Black.
White Rank 7k
Black Rank 8k
Komi 0.5

Black averaged less than 5.25 seconds per move.
A few ideas:

EdLee, your suggestion for move 19 is not very good. First of all, it doesn't neutralize H17 and if W were to retreat it with J17 immediately in your variation (which is not good given the problem with his top left corner), B is doing very little at the top, crawling on the second line. White won't play K18 for 22 either and leave the cut at K17, but rather calmly play at K17 instead. White is in no position to put heavy pressure on the top group, so B shouldn't concern himself about making a couple of points there.

I would leave the top alone and cut at E16, White's top left corner has bad aji that B can utilize to naturally secure G16, which would then give him more options on how to exploit the weakness in the H17-L16-O17 formation.

And regarding the question that OP wanted answered, there were many, many ways W could have ensured the death of your invasion. Imo, the latest way he could have done so is to simply play G4 instead of E6 at move 148.

I have to commend you on that I was reveiwing it over when a 1d player just passing through looked in and commented with a few variations. Of all the variations he never saw that one, and thats just the one I was looking for that looks to be the more proper way to punish or answer than what he was coming up with.

Sorry. That was me on my alt account, and I misunderstood you: I was looking for ways for black to make the invasion work (or at least get points out of it) rather than ways for white to kill it. I saw quite a lot of ways for white to kill and thought that problem was not very interesting. My bad :bow:
