So, I had an opportunity to try to play a more "enterprising" fuseki, and I think my moves were sharper this time around. I then chose to make an early cut and the early middle game went badly. I think my opponent and I then traded mistakes -- my poor shape and direction of play versus his slow moves -- and I managed to squeeze out a 3 point victory.
The good news is that I seem to be playing even with the sandbaggers at my current level. This guy should have given me a several stones based on his rank history. Ah, IGS...
I'd also be very interested to know about moves 47-49 in the following diagram. Cutting the white stones seems like a good strategic move, but was it too early?

White is very unlikely to do that, since it pretty much amounts to giving up one play. So psychologically this seem like the perfect time to push and cut.

the answer isn't to move more slowly. Just play a one-space jump at H11.

is a clear mistake even locally, much too inefficient a connection. Consider E8 or G9 if you are worried about cuts.
, you're building a fairly narrow area. What are you expecting from this wall you want to build? I suspect the 3-3 point is bigger than the center moves. Once you sacrifice three stones it's not even clear the whole operation gained you anything.
makes that shape again. Together with 101 you've gained maybe six to eight points from two moves? Connecting in the bottom right is larger because it involves life & death.
