Any book which give this move as a joseki move should be burned. ]B[oe] ;W[qc] ;B[pc] ;W[qd] ( ;C[Empty triangle not nice at all. How is the variation I give?

C5 is bigger.]W[ph] ;C[I expected to finish this invasion in sente and then to play Q2, expecting, perhaps R3, followed by me playing R8.]B[cq] ;W[dq] ;B[cp] ;W[co] ;B[bo] ;W[cn] ;B[bn] ;C[This is an odd point, but i didn'nt know how to handle it. I think I handled it badly because I saddled myself with a weak group. RoseDuke\: White cannot tenuki from bottum left side, C7 is critical. Now Black can simply cut at D5 and white has no answer to that move. ]W[lp] ;C[Should this just be at M3 or R3?]B[jm] ;W[pq] ( ;C[RoseDuke\: This is the wrong place to place a stone. ]B[lq] ;W[kp] ;B[jp] ;W[kq] ;B[hm] ;W[fn] ;B[cm] ;C[RoseDuke\: 99% of the time, double peeps are terrible moves, if you ever want to improve, first remove this move from your considerations. ]W[in] ;C[RoseDuke\: now black is consolidating.]B[jn] ;W[im] ;B[il] ;W[hl] ( ;C[RoseDuke\: WRONG!!!!!!!

The way for you two to improve is to go over some games played by pros or other top amateurs. Learn the way they develop their games, and try get used to the shape in their games. Most important of all, PLEASE TRY REMOVE DOUBLE PEEP FROM YOUR GAME!!!!!!!]B[jk] ) ( ;C[SIMPLE....]W[kr] ) ) ( ;B[hk] ;W[gl] ;C[RoseDuke\: Simply sacrifice the one stone give black much more in return.
