It was an internet game on Tygem at 10:30pm Korean time, which meant that I had to be ready by 5:30am. This is earlier than I usually get up, and I was exhausted. I should have gone to bed earlier.
The time settings were pretty quick - 5 minute game, plus 3 periods of 30 second byo-yomi. Combined with being tired, I played a pretty bad game, making some very silly mistakes. I lost by a lot, but it was still a great experience to play a pro.
I'm slighty embarrassed to post the game record since I played so poorly and without much thought, but after the game he kindly provided review, and I also reviewed the game a bit myself.
Here's the SGF:
