Hi, I have this feeling that 900 rated 10+0 players actually play WORSE than 900 rated 5+0 players. Do you guys feel the same way? Please tell me

The player pools are very different so it is possible. I know I have a MUCH higher rapid rating here than Blitz.

Generally one's rapid rating is higher than one's blitz rating. This is because blitz is a faster time control and therefore more difficult than rapid. I would agree with you that a 900 blitz player is stronger than a 900 rapid player.
