used the 3 space joseki in game. My opponent resisted and I wasn't sure what to do. I'm sure there are better answers then what I found in game.
Also I played a really good clamp which is something I never thought I'd be able to do when I was a 10kyu.
Then I proceeded to punt the game by dying in two spots. Haha. Oh L&D.

Re: Games I played and stuff
Alphago sure is cool.
Learning when to peep.
1. To cover a weakness before jumping out.
2. Right before pushing an opponent in a direction.
Also couldn't see it in game but after playing around after the game I see the aji at C15 and maybe I could find a way to hane at D11 insetad of E11 but it's hard to find useful moves against the corner after C17.
A weak group between two weak groups definitely doesn't seem weak.
learned S14 from joseki

is going to be questionable on general grounds: "urgent points before big points", and the urgent points on the top side are serious.
Don't think this is right. I would play F12 expecting E11, to keep Black separated, and then play C17 as the only quick way to settle a group.
It makes more sense to me to play P17, trying to settle the group. Invading the right side may come later.
It seems White should cut at R13 and sacrifice two stones. It would make R3 a better play.From here, White expects too much from thin shape.

Re: Games I played and stuff
Thanks for looking at the game.
I wasn't sure what to do so I played away haha. I guess D12 is good since I've decided to attack with O16.
I was having trouble with C17. W C17 B D16 ? but after playing with variations G15 peep looks like it helps.
And if W C17 B B17 I think hane at B18 works.
cool P17 is the move I couldn't find. I just mimic'd O16 from games I've seen so I don't really know how to use it 
I have trouble with seeing this too. But I agree it looks better. Especially if black let's me get P13/P14 But I'm a little confused after w R13 b P13
it looks harder for the L16 group but maybe I can destroy the corner enough?
You're right about me wanting a lot from thin shapes
but I didn't know what else to do.
I think your comments helped me see some good tools.
