Yeah, this reaffirms something I had come up in a Jenny Shen lecture at congress. Long story short, I really like playing dame/redundant moves. That's a habit I've got to break.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

82 is not a problem..it is a must move.
84 was bad. if you extend then black will be in bad situation..

For 70, I like either of these moves (I like the tighter diagonal move better as it finishes the corner). You have to be a bit careful that your center stones stay connected and can still make life, but I think they're pretty strong right now. Run black's stones into your wall by making points and taking away black's base.
