Question 1: Oh, that's fascinating. I agree the tiger's mouth is a far better move than the one I chose.
Question 2: I think it's because it requires another move to reinforce the group after committing another stone there. If white had responded my idea was to play F5. Though, if I wanted to slide into the corner in the first place then K4 is misplaced so my play is inconsistent here?
Question 3: This move bothers me, but I've been told it's solid in this kind of position. I considered something like N16 to pressure the invading stone and give white a choice of saving it or pushing in at S17.
Question 4: I was torn between the hane and the nobi. My first instinct was the nobi, I went into analysis paralysis and decided on the hane for no good reason despite knowing that it gave white good shape. I had a lot of problems in the midgame with analysis paralysis and picking poor moves after overthinking things.
Question 5: From behind.
Point 6: Point taken this result was terrible for black.
Question 7: Topazg already said to me that White should have keima'd to the other side to push me against his strength on top and to make the ladder not work for the joseki associated with the cap.
Thank you for the questions Ed.
