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.
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
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".

A or B?
Now I think I should have played B and attack the marked White stone if White defends the corner.
But I thought: "hey A is sente or i'll take the corner".]

C[Now this move looks like such an overplay, and I was hoping for that.
Because I was tring to build a wall on the marked area, so even if white lives i can lean against A to attack B or the other way around.
I also have the cap at C or D or even the shoulder hits, that's why I wanted white to play there.]

I totally ignored the fact that A isn't alive just yet.]

I called that an overplay since it can't really get a base in that small space.
