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.
