In the vernacular of Confidence (wo)men,  there is the short game and the long 
game. 

And then there is the arc of one's career which is not necessarily a piecewise 
linear composition of con after con after con.   Sure... with a finite number 
of hours in a day, and days in a life the number of Marks one can Con (or be 
Conned by) is technically finite.
