My advice is not to favor one side over another side.
Try to be flexible and play the position.
Sometimes your position demands you to play for a king hunt.
Other times it demands for queen side play.
Nice tactic in that first game. Great ratings too!

Yeah pretty neat tactic 
New personal blitz record! 2183 beating 2180 by 3 points.
If I can get to 2200 I will be very glad.

Way to go!!
On another note - that really doesn't happen every day, that a titled player plays ...b5 in such a position.
You should have hurried outside and gotten yourself a lottery ticket real quick that day.
I was a bit surprised of that game as well, and was wondering if he really could miss that.
Yeah I ended at 2192 and I am one game against someone similar rating to get exactly 2200, as you get +8 for a win against someone your exact rating! I am deciding not to do it now, and instead go to sleep! I need to be my best for that nerve game
2200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL 
And it had to be a win on time!!
Can't keep my cool when it is the deciding game XD

The other day at the club I played somebody and won 2:0 (in blitz). Then the third game I got into a position with king and 5-6 pawns, when he had king, a few pawns, bishop, rook, queen.
He also had like 1:30 minutes on the clock - comfortable. I had like 1:15.
So of course I had the courtesy to offer him a draw. I was shocked that he didn't accept.
I asked him - "do you really think that you have the better chances in this position?"
Here we go again with another "Please note that my style of playing" post...

It took another strong player of the club, who was present and watched the game with interest, to explain to me in detail, why my opponent didn't accept the draw. I'm not sure I'm quite over it yet.
Actually the OP plays short time controls.
Which is to say 1.g3 in those short time controls allows the OP to get set up's fast with out alot of worry.
huge milestone congrats!
