Requesting advice

Hi there.

Recently I was playing some lightning chess (some may call it bullet) for money in real life. Now I won a few games but ultimately the people I were playing were not very strong speed players. Now I'm good at blitz 3|0 & 5|0 but I really struggle with 1|0. I feel like I literally have no time to evaluate a position or look for tactics. I have to move so fast half the time I don't even see my opponents moves because I'm pre moving my pieces XD. Although there must be some methods for fixing this because (granted I'm not a GM) Hikaru has a 3000+ bullet rating. If anybody has some ideas, tips, training advice, they could give me that would be awesome.

Pretty sure Hikaru wrote a book on how to play bullet.  Probably worth tracking down if you're serious.

Looks like you play ludicrous openings on purpose in your chess.com bullet games.

Ikr... Usually Im pre-moving on move 3. I get so paranoid with time... dosnt help I watch IMs & GMs and how fast they move, and I go and try to copy them. =(
