Keep doing what you're doing and you should do fine, but as you put more time in - even if you're playing well - you'll run into what is politely called "variance". Every player has bad runs...so, yes, it is an imminent day of judgement. The best way to minimize or (rather) ride out its effects is to stick to the game that you're winning with in the first place and play within your roll at all times. We could go on...but there's lots of threads on the subject, so browse...

Sounds like you have your head on straight. You should do fine.
