I post this game because I wasn't sure about the opening, the upper-left and lower-left corner are what I was unsure about.
However i did like my result in both of those corners.
About :w44: I called that an overplay since it can't really get a base in that small space.

I also posted my thoughts about some moves, are they correct? (I added variations to show what I was thinking about).
I would like some comments on my direction of play, bad habits, sente, gote, slow or anything else.

I'm trying to lose my bad habit of playing to fast, but this is still too fast I think.

The second reason why I post this game is because after this win I finally got to KGS 1k. And I want to be "prepared". The first goal is 1d before july :study:
I don't mind if you give a "harsh" review, I want to improve but it's hard to find my own mistakes if nothing "dies".

Here is the game, I played Black:

There is almost nothing to say. There was nothing that was completely awful about the opening, and then White made an overplay and died for it like he should have, which was good.

Thanks Shaddy, I guess i have to play more games and pick one where I lost completly.

@EdLee: Thanks. Looks like I have to study joseki some more. Playing rare moves could be bad in many positions.

A few comments on the early opening as I think there were mistakes, and feel that White had the upper hand early.
