1000 ELO in Bullet, 1100 in Blitz, 2000 in Long games???

I don't see it as an indication of cheating, and have a similar, if smaller, differential in my ratings. The biggest problem that I have is time trouble. I am able to win more daily games because I don't run out of time. My Blitz is 1034 and my Rapid is 1393. I lose loads of Blitz games on time, equally in winning and losing positions, but I am just not very good at moving quickly. Hence my differential. My Daily is 1608, because I don't have time issues. I am not saying that my Blitz Chess is at 1600 standard if you took the time away, but as Time is really the most important factor in Blitz (thoughts?), it is easy to see how someone can we worse at Blitz if they don't manage that aspect well. Maybe look at the results of their Blitz games and see how many where due to time?

Also, why would someone cheat at Daily but then not at Blitz? Doesn't make sense to me
