If you keep running the same bluff sooner or later someone will call you... I'm reminded of the scene from the above where Bill Murray encounters Sigourney Weaver after some years of estrangement and suggests revisiting their relationship. She knowingly says "Oh no, not the same old cheap tricks!", to which he responds, "It's all new cheap tricks this week... ". I have personally found this revelation most helpful in keeping ahead of the game subsequently :D.
