17k game review

Another review request. I feel like I've improved a bit lately but there are still many holes in my game. Especially when facing invasions I think I'm throwing away a lot as shown in this game. I luckily end up winning comfortably because he plays far too greedy. The longer the game lasts the more his play falls apart.
I still have many questions after reviewing the game myself. My comments are in the .sgf.
This was a 17k game on Tygem.
