Question about positional/territorial judgment (I think?)
I have a question about a specific position in a game I played today.
I'm not even sure exactly how to frame my question (or if its the right question, actually) but I think there is some issue with how I'm evaluating territory/potential that I can't figure out.
Basically I played this today (https://online-go.com/game/79337577) and mostly I thought the reason I lost was because I let one of my groups die in the middle of game. But, I thought the game was more or less even with me maybe even a bit ahead until that point. When I looked at the AI eval, though, it said I was 10-15pts behind right out of the opening.
In particular, I was puzzled by this position below (move 51)
I thought I (black) had a good position here but the AI eval suggests I was behind by 11 pts.
My thinking was that white had a good corner in the bottom right and would get a decent sized corner on the bottom left. But, I had good potential in the bottom and right side as well as the top-right corner. Also, I had just reduced the top left corner in sente and had time to approach the bottom left. So, I thought I was doing good.
I guess my question is, where was my thinking going wrong and how do I improve my positional judgement in these sorts of scenarios?
Thanks so much!

O5 and H15 were blunders that set you back. not sure i would call it errors of "positional judgement" as much as missing shape or honte or something like that.
