Re: from $10 to $1 million in one day
Possible, yes, but it would take some luck as well as this advantage.
You need 17 double-ups to do it. Now you're not going to bet your whole stack every time, but you should have no trouble playing generally winning poker, and finding 17 opportunities in a day where you have a sure win and the other player has a good enough hand to call all-in.
The only trouble is finding people to call your bets once you get above $50,000 or so. In Las Vegas on a good night, there's no trouble finding no-limit action with $100,000 stacks, but you might have to grind your way from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The other trouble would be finding a live game that allowed a $10 buy-in, you might have to start on-line.
Of course, this assumes that no one notices your extraordinary play and luck. In real life you might get shot before you get your $1 million.
