Lower right. Wild fighting. Black gets very little here, and is left with a weakness around L9. and seem pretty bad. The point of the invasion would be to leave the P10-R10 group weak on the edge of Black's framework. This doesn't happen. The F3 invasion is also wasted.

When the cut comes in the centre at White 106 it is very serious. At or before Black 115, with hindsight, Black gets chances to sacrifice a few stones and solidify on the right. After some random plays, Black loses a big group. The White play at L11 looks decisive.

A small tactical point : move should gives atari on k5 before playing h6. This atari gives you the connection, which is very important as both white groups are potentially weak. After this black's situation looks good.

Here you go. I hope this helps. Sorry if it's a bit messy. You generally played well, but you create alot of trouble for yourself. You seem stronger than your opponent, but you need to stop playing against your own interests making the game harder for yourself than necessary ^^
