Hi o00o00o,
Game with djthedj:
Do you need this move ?
What if you omit this move -- can you study what happens locally ?
( May need to read 4 moves. )
Game with puregravy:
Can you find a better local move ?
( Maybe difficult ; need to read 4+ moves )
( related to above question) Can you think of another option for Black ?
Game with sle:
( More difficult ): Can you study what if you cut at E8 ?
What if you cut at G8 ? ( May need to read 4+ moves. )
Game with sdsd:
( difficult ): Black misses a very big chance to crush White here...
Can you find a better sequence for Black here ?
( May need to read 5+ moves. )

Hi o00o00o,
If your post seemed to be changing, it was because I was trying to edit it at the same time you were.
Sorry about the confusion.
It looks like all four games are working now.

Re: Lost by a few points consecutively
The one common theme that I see in all four games is that you don't split your opponent often enough. The biggest instance is move 10, game 1 that Ed mentions.
A second, but minor improvement would be to not play on the first rank so soon if you can find something bigger.

Re: Lost by a few points consecutively
Thanks to everyone for their feedback. Looks like its a few misplaced stones and lack of good reading along with needing to be a little more aggressive in play. I probably need to focus on doing more tsumegos as well. 
Thanks guys 
Thanks guys Always play with your best effort and the intention to improve.

Re: Lost by a few points consecutively
Hi,
I run those 4 games through an analysis using Leela to see if I could find game reversing blunder:
Game 1, move 33
No specific blunder for game 2. Black took the lead at move 33.
Game 3, move 33
Game 4, move 53

In the last game, 
was the losing move. Black should not have passed.
