I'm not really stronger then you, I'm not sure if it is correct but here is what I think:
1: Correct direction, you give up the corner but split White in two.
White's 2 stones are very weak and between 2 stronger Black positions: a perfect target to attack
17: A good move, it's true that if you kick a stone you make it stronger, but White's 2 space extension from 2 stones would be over conzentrated.
That means even if White aswers this kick His stones are still not alavie and still far too weak to be left alone.
29: True that this is big, but this gives White the chance to play P19. And now his weak group is alive, that means that you just made the moves 11 and 17 totally bad moves!
Well that's all for now, I hope this help's and if I'm wrong please correct me
