Up through move 15, if someone told me that a pro was playing black, I'd have no trouble believing it.

Move 17, however, should be a capture. There is no point in leaving the aji hanging.

Move 19 feels too tight. It is a severe attack on one stone, but, because of the strength of the Q6 group, that stone is in serious trouble even with a looser pincer.
There is an unecessarily large gap between R10 and Q16.
R11 feels more balanced.

Move 25 should be S11. What if he ignored your atari, and took S11 for himself?

Move 29 still should be S11.

Move 35: Cramp his eye space with S7, then consider replying to the premature monkey jump.
I would ignore it and play S7 first and then K5.

Move 49: You must play S6. His group has only one eye.
And if you do run westward, M6 is too close to your own strength.
Help make L19 more organized. Make an index: https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5207
