Why do 1+1 players seem better than 1+0?

This might seem like an odd question, but my experience here shows me that I perform about 150-200 grade points better at 1+0 bullet than 1+1. It is possible that I just play better with less time but that seems a little unlikely as I am getting on in years and am not as sharp as I used to be. So 2 questions:

1. Has anyone else experienced this?

2. What might explain this?

I feel like 1+1 gives you less pressure, and gives you more time to think because of the increment.

1+1 are for blitz players that are bullet-wannabes

That's true. I wonder if that's my problem: I relax a bit and then use too much of the extra time, and end up with much less time than my opponents at the end. Quite possible.

"1+1 are for blitz players that are bullet-wannabes"

Fair point, and I do use bullet to try and speed me up for blitz.

@FlamoToolz Wouldn't they play 2+1?

I play a bit of 2+1 but I prefer 3+0 or 1+1

@yabbadabbadooooooo both work

It gives the player the ability to burn the fixed time when and where uneasy position he feels like, therefore avoiding blunders and mistakes coming from playing without a plan and still thanks to the +1 dont lose to self-flag.

@nopiensesmucho Yes, that makes sense. So I guess the real question is: why am I so bad at that!
