Strongest blitz playing pool?

I usually play 5 minutes if I am playing blitz but have dipped my toe in the water of 3 minutes recently which is also a lot of fun. Are players weaker at the 3 minute level? I only ask because I seem to beat people easier at my rating at 3 minutes than I do at 5.

And you are basing that off of nine 3+0 games? Your 3+0 record is 4 wins & 5 losses; you need much more data to accurately figure out what you're asking.

Yes. Point taken though, maybe I should play more. I just find it harder to win a 5 min game.

That is just short term perception you're experiencing. Try a 3+0 tournament, it gets rough real quick lol
