I play 5 minute almost exclusively. When I am really mad and want to get some quick wins I sometimes play 3 minute but it burns me out really fast and I start losing if I play too many games. For whatever reason 3 minute games seem closer to bullet games imo while 5 minute games seem closer to standard. I think the pools are about equally competitive though as a player who is relatively quick in the 5 minute pool but slow in the 3 minute pool. 10 minute games are my favorite because you can really challenge yourself to think but the problem is almost no one is playing them above the 2000 level. I am not a good enough calculator to play good chess with very little time. It is always amazing watching masters like jb or chessbrahs play short games and see more than I see in a normal game
