Infinite rungood?

I'm beginning to think that a downswing is looming.
I played precisely 80 hands and managed to make $1.16, or 29BB. Don't get me wrong, I'm not playing badly, as far as I can tell. I may even be playing like a long term winner, but when I've profited from 5 sessions of 5 I can't help thinking that something's up.
My first hand of this session, I was dealt QT, obviously called a raise and two callers from the big blind. The flop came AKJ of different suits. The initial raiser called me down all the way and showed A3.
It's true, everyone flops the nuts on occasion. However, about 3 hands later, I flopped the nut flush with KQs. And then again the very next hand with AJs.
Still, I didn't go crazy, and my play remained solid. I was down slightly on one table, up a little on another and up over $1 on the table where I'd had all the cards. And then I see that the guy to my left has $0.07 left on the flop, I have 45 and the board is 952. We go all in and he turns over A9. What a shame, I've lost $0.11 in total this hand.
But no! I can't even lose this! Instead, the turn is a 6, and river a cruel 3. If there's one thing I hate more than sucking out, it's sucking out when I don't need to.
The tables began to break around me so I thought I'd catch my breath.
I look forward to moaning about some sick beats very shortly.
