pal I used to run a few CS servers with a few mates. Ping has very little to do with how well you do (unless you have an exceedingly high ping - which you don't) it all has to do with latency.
Think of it like this .... if your friend lives 2 doors down from the server and has a ping of say 1 then he should in theory win every game, but it doesn't work like this as the servers account for vast differences in distance to a degree.
If you turn off all or some of the heavy graphics and blood etc. then you will get a better latency. Try looking for some config files that will give you a better latency, the game wont look so pretty but you will have a better gaming experience and your play style will improve.
Remember there are ways to mask your real ping that will show others that you are getting a ping of below 5, these are normally cheats and most secure servers or good admins will be able to figure this out and either kick you or even worse ban you from these servers.
Join some of the relative gaming forums to to see how to the others get the best performance, you will be surprised at how easy it is to do without resorting to cheating
