Tips for playing Blitz?

Maybe it's just not my style but I can't play blitz/bullet for the life of me, I take too much time to think. I'll get my board perfectly plotted out but then I'll lose, and if I go fast I make reckless decisions and end up losing anyways. Any advice to a Classical 10 + 0 one trick pony haha?
It's definitely harder to cheat at faster time controls. It's easier to identify outright cheaters I think. You could try to restrict your cheating to a few moves a game, or see if there is any way to cheat that is less easy to pick up on. Or you could just play with other cheats in the cheat area or on a website for cheaters.
Imapinger, here's my advice. Why don't you just start thinking yourself, instead of letting a stupid machine doing the work for you? Do you really enjoy a "won" game, where your "assistant" simply tells you what to do??? Regardless of playing strenght, people will NEVER learn how to play chess right, as long as they don't start making decisions themselves. I'm just a very mediocre player, but the games you remember best are the games in which you hit your nose very hard. Those are the moments you learn how to play chess. If you cannot cope with losing chessgames, then perhaps chess is not the right sport for you.
If you play fair your rating might end up a lot lower- but the respect you gain from your opponents will drastically increase!
I dont understand why people are cheating? Its not interesting to play a game with the help of an engine. Its a complete disrespect of your opponents and yourself.
