The other major option I had was to play Q4 and try to build something large in the bottom right, but I felt that if W sealed off the upper left, then reducing it would be too hard with K17 and D11 already on the board.

I had already decided to invade here next when I played F10.  The goal is to live in sente so I can play Q5 after spoiling W's ripe potential.

Not sure if this is the correct invasion point.]

W ~17 in the UL
W ~15 in the U side
W ~10 points from the BL dragon, including 
W 7 from komi
B ~15 in the UR
B ~5 points in 2 small groups
B ~10 points in the bottom
B ~20+ from the enclosure in the BR

So I'm back in this game.  I just need to make sure I don't let W monetize his center influence, and of course my small groups may not actually be alive.]

W UL: ~18
W US: ~14
W dragon and center: ~10?
W komi: 7

B mini groups: 7
B UR: ~18?
B LS: ~10
B LR: 20+

I think I'm leading at this point.  So something simple like N3 / N4, chasing W to the center while making more cash should be enough.

Instead I was worried about what W might be able to make in the center with a move like N7.  So I decided to do what I could to chase L4 in order to enter the potential territory.]
