Loss to Meic 18k on OGS (even game)

Like the first, my second completed game against Meic also ended in resignation, but it was a whole lot better than the first. The silly complete beginner mistakes are hopefully a thing of the past. The mistakes in the game are down to a) poor defence - too many cutting points and b) choosing areas too small to live in and getting squeezed.

Move 3 er..
Move 9 prefer a pincer?
Move 11 again prefer the pincer?
Move 17 prefer to connect at C12
Move 27 E12
Move 31 E14 = nice wall
Move 33 F15
Move 35 too many cutting points. Obviously only looking to capture the W group.
Move 57 any move anywhere on the board would be more useful than that. Look at the moyo on the right. Where's yours? Maybe the centre point would be reasonable. Just not L4.
Move 61 too far
Move 63 is this going to live on its own?
Move 73 make some space! O7?
Move 77 not obviously suicidal until you read ahead
Move 83 obviously suicidal
Move 183 necessary. allowing W to connect kills the E7 group (nowhere to live)
Move 185 necessary. sacrifice G7 group to ensure D6 group dies
