Bad Bullet game but learned something

Sort:
Daybreak57

I played like 10 bullet games using a ridiculous opening and won most of my games.  I am still at the lower level, and came close to losing to a 500 rated player, however, what I learned from this experience was:

 

1.)  I'm not good enough for bullet

2.)  Pick a bad opening and you can still win because even though your opening is bad chances are your opponent won't know what to do.

3.)  I learned now why people play these weird gambits.  It takes people out of their book.  If you play 100 people you will find only a few that respond to it correctly, depending on how obscure your gambit it.  I'm not talking about book gambits mind you.  Well, some, but more so some off beat gambits that I came across that I never seen in books, that have strange but sound tactics if their opponent accepts the gambit.

 

Here is the game.  This game, is why I am not going to play bullet anymore until I am at least 1800 rated player.
