possibility of being in a 'cheater pool'?

Hi, I've read that there's a cheater pool, and I'm wondering what the chances of a false positive I. E. Someone being added to the pool who's never cheated. The reason I'm wondering about this is my rating disparity: nearly 1500 rapid with well over 50% win rate (meaning my rating probably hasn't settled yet), and yet I can't get past 700 blitz.. Even my bullet is higher. Is there something I'm missing? Because it seems as though the 700 blitz players are more of a challenge than 1500 rapid players, however everyone else at my rating for rapid seems to be over 1000 blitz. Help!? I also feel I need to state, I've never used an engine to check moves while I'm in a game, although I use the lichess engine to analyze all the time, cheating is disgusting and defeats the whole point of it for me - self-improvement and integrity. So, is there a possibility that people who do study, and therefore have pet lines and general improvement get placed in in a pool with cheaters? Or am I just particularly poor at blitz? :/

There's no such thing as a cheater pool. There's is a poor sportsmanship pool.

Interesting, I live on a farm with particularly bad internet, I wonder if that would affect a sportsmanship rating..

Most people don't.

The blitz pool is tough - especially if blitz is not your specialty.

Don't worry about cheaters ... if you run into any, the system will likely catch them (sooner or later). Instead, just focus on what you can control: your own moves.

Analyze your losses. Learn from your mistakes. Do this consistently, and your blitz skills (and your rating) will begin to climb higher.
