But consider the rate of return! He turned $1 into $10,000 in 9 months. Could he then turn that $10k into $100M in another 9 months?
Or if he'd started with $100 instead of $1, could he have turned that into $1M in 9 months? That would still be incredibly impressive.
Certainly the game changes as the bets and buy-ins get higher, but even if he couldn't swing the same rate of return with a higher starting point and larger bets (though still only betting that same certain low percent of his bankroll), presumably he could do things like turning $5k into $1M. Even $100k into $1M would be fantastic.
