there are no "strong players" on RHP. I'd put hard cash on the fact that I'm the strongest player with an account on this site.
I try to learn from strong players so I looked at your games. ChessBully911 (great name!) is just getting started, so there is a limited selection, but one thing drew my attention. As I write this you have 8 games that have gone past the first move. In six of those games Black's first move was: 1...e6 (P-K3 old school 🙂 ). That is a ratio of 75% of games where Black opens 1...e6 (oh yes, one of those games was you as Black). That's wildly at odds with my experience; I think I've seen that opening maybe once or twice. When all these opponents play ...e6, (which I think is weak), does that make it easier to win? Yet you played it, so there must be some value to it.
Best of luck in your future games.
Update: Well there was a thread of several posts when I started typing this, but I'm so slow now it seems to have disappeared??
