How much effort do you put into online games

The question is: do you play a lot of games simultaneously, playing moves quickly, or do you play few games but with analysis etc.

I tend to play very quickly. At the beginning I used spend like 3 hours per game but now I mostly play quickly.

I play mostly Blitz games. Seriously thinking of moving up to 10minute games though...

If I was sitting in front of someone I would be willing to spend far more time though.

online corr. games usually 5 seconds a move.  otb + online blitz, optimally i would use the first 2/3 of the time slow and the last third fast --- although i tend to play too slow and attain time pressure too often.

Blitz games are like two women arguing.  If two men start arguing quickly generally one will get punched because such bs is not socially acceptable among men.  

It is better to take your time and play slow games so some growth can occur.  Anyone can think quickly and make stupid decisions.

Blitz is not really a problem. Bullet is the problem. I found the openings that i would normally use do not work so much for me in bullet. I add a couple to my arseanal just for it and my game is more relased as of recent.

Yeah your right you do have to play games with more time to improve quality of play.
