Why 1200 are better than 1500 +?

Hello, i play on blitz and everytime i play vs a 1200 or 1300 it is very hard... they play fast, know all traps, all openings moves.... but when i play 1400 or 1500 players i always win easy. They do same opening but they dont put pawns everywhere.... Any explanation?
My last game vs a 1550. He is good but i loose vs 1200 players who are better.
Why don't you show a game that you lost so we can assess what went wrong?
Why is it imported? Was this in person? What time + increment was it?
Not sure the generalization--"1200 [players] are better than 1500 [players]" is supported by this single game. You played well; your opponent had a bad game. That's about all one can say. In general I find just the opposite: players rated higher than I am are more difficult to beat, but then I can lose to anyone!
I just ask if there is a reason of it. Why 1300 are betters than 1500. For lost games, i already use the computer analysis and that help me a lot. 😀 Be sure that when i wont solve a problem, i will ask here.
(If i beat 1500 players can i hope a 1600 on blitz) that is yhe question behind the question. I love challenge so i want hard games, therefore, i select 1300 player for ranked because it is vs them that i lost the most games.
You claim that you seldom lose to 1400,1500's, yet you lost 5 times in a row to Super-Saiyan-2 who is 1480, and you've beaten a 1500 player on this account literally once?

Your top wins are 1544, 1490, 1417, 1415, 1397. So you've beaten 4 people over 1400?
"I always win easy" and I can find tonnes and tonnes of losses, and only one win? That's my confusion.
You missed several good moves in that game, by the way. There were at least 3 points where a check on b5 would have been superior to what you played.
Ah yes you right. Thats my second account. I played on another account some years ago. But i dont remeber the name i used (the problem when you add numbers with the name). So i cant recove it. Super sayan 2 killed me 🤣 but in other hand, i find many 1300 players very more hard to play.
