I won this game, but I feel like I got tricked a little bit early and Ketchup could have taken a fairly big lead if he cut off my 2 stones at move 41. Comments and analysis appreciated!

I'm not convinced that 41 was a big mistake, if it was a mistake. Yes, it's lots of points, but in the game white ends up with a large floating group. If 41 cuts and 42 connects @ f6, white has intimidating thickness. I worry about letting my opponent get that thick; I think I would play the game move.

17: seems to be way too easy to cut. Someone already mentioned that black needed the 3-3 point, so there may be no good move.

19: I think black should take care of the other side first.

22: I think white should do something with the cuts at c6 or f6/7. The game move seems almost pointless in comparison.

Edit: The :w20: I recommended was just instinct. Based on my reading, there may be better moves. But there is weakness in this shape and that's what you should be aiming at.
