I had a streak of 16 games where I made payouts in all games, with 14 of those games being first or second. I never joined with premades and I played with different strategies and alliances and had a lot of fun doing well.
But all good streaks come to an end and I’m glad I went out to a friend who went on to play well! Still had a lot of fun and don’t care what the haters say! :)
