I was black, and lost by 6.5. I don't have the whole game, at this point I started taking too much time, so had to stop recording.
Would appreciate comments any comments.

(I'm not really good enough for doing this but ....)

This was mistakes back and forth at a critical stage. Your 147 didn't threaten enough to prevent your opponent from playing G8 then and there. But after your opponent followed 147 your 149 was gote to save a single stone (not saving any territory as open on the other side).

Suppose you had played G6 on move 149 (after you had been given a second chance). But really should have played it 147 or even earlier.

13... I don't like the relationship this makes (elephant eye)

I really don't like 21, but I don't know what is correct.

49... Are you sure you can't cut there?
51... I don't know why I dislike this, but I'd much rather see a failed cut than this shape.
54... See, white agrees, he's helping you out...
65... looking pretty nice for black now.
81... Play M11 and let him defend. I think. I don't like the gap you end up having in the wall.
97... Tough call. If you didn't have that big gap I'd say you blocked the wrong way, but as it is I'm not sure.
99... Hmm... I don't know if you should change your mind here, blocking both poorly might be worse than blocking one well and the other not at all...
113... No, G9 or something seems like a must.
115... Huh?
131... I think G17 ends up being more points.
151... I think you should save the three stones, not the single one. If you lost by only six points, this is probably the difference right here.
