2300 puzzles but 1050-1150 in bullet/rapid

I am around 2300 in puzzles, and I know there is a considerable hike in rating for puzzles over bullet, blitz, rapid, etc, but I feel like at my level my puzzle rating is much much higher than my elo for games.  Ideas for why this may be? I do tactics considerably more than actual rated games. Sorry for the kinda dumb question, I always see much higher rated players than me with equal or lower puzzle ratings so just kinda wondering what this is all about. 

Enjoy your day

I hope so! I have been busy with school and haven't been making it to chess club or really playing anything besides blitz and bullet or solving tactics in my spare time. Thanks for the kind words

I feel as though I notice them a fair amount of the time, but not as much as I should in all honesty. I do mostly play low time constraints but want to get back into rapid and otb longer games, so focusing more on tactics within a game is a good suggestion, thanks!

I am in something of a similar position.

Something I am trying to adopt is a change in thought patterns - e.g. from puzzles and puzzle rush I am quite good at spotting tactics in my opponent's position, and I am slightly better at trying to prepare my pieces to create such opportunities - BUT my main flaw (and what I am trying to correct) is when I leave myself open to such tactics; SO as well as looking for tactics that might be taking shape in the opponents pieces, I am now trying to train myself to look at my pieces in the same way.

In short, I am manoeuvring to try and get a 2000 or so rated tactical solution to win an exchange,  while at the same time leaving a 800 rated mate in 2 for my opponent!

This is completely normal. Look at my profile, I have poor 600 rapid, but my puzzles are 1500

The same with me.

You have learnt to solve puzzles but you can't play well.

Indeed, when I was 2300 in puzzles I hit 1600 elo in rapid. Many years before, I did lessons on Chessmaster program by Bruce Pandolfini, so I had good understanding of principles of chess, but when starting on chess.com I never did puzzles before. Chess.com has also a pretty decent guide in lessons section that should improve your understanding of the game.

Also, I checked your profile and it seems you are playing rather for entertainment than improvement. You have GothamChess flair, he recommends to play longer games, at least 15m+10s if you want to improve, so you would have more time to think about what you are doing during the game. It helped me to go from 10m games to 15m+10s. 

You don't analyze your games. If you don't hit that analysis button after every game, to check what mistakes you are doing in openings, middle game and endgames, than you can not learn from your mistakes and you will repeat them.

With puzzles you are doing something that Levy calls "puzzle gambling". On every puzzle I checked you were below average on time when finishing it doing right or wrong. You probably are guessing the puzzles rather than calculating more deeply. Levy recommends to not move until you calculated the solution to the end. We spent roughly the same amount of hours on puzzles, but you did 4 times more puzzles than me, so you spent more than 4x less time per puzzle. Also Your success ate is 47%, mine 56%. You are gambling it with puzzles more than me. When my friend who used to do puzzles from books saw me doing puzzles he believed I am not calculating deep enough and too often guessing as well.

Also you are not doing puzzle survival, just the quick 3 min rushes. Survival rewards you for doing puzzles slower and more carefully.

Essentially by playing bullet, doing puzzles fast, playing 3min rushes, not analyzing games and not doing many lessons, it shows you are playing chess for fun and dopamine spikes, rather than doing deliberate practice, that is effortful but necessary to improve.

yeah this is completely accurate.  I calculate deeply when playing on PC, but when solving puzzles on my phone i just kinda go for it, and don't calculate too deeply. I do mostly play for fun but want to improve but I have been do depressed and busy to but the work in TBH. Thanks for the tips, I need to hold myself more accountable if I want to see real improvement.
