Default $20,000 from $1

I read an article in Bluff mag stating that Jesus Ferguson made 20 grand from a buck online in 6 months. Is there any validity to that? What would be the strategy in going about something like this? (Granted, Chris is a professional player and has more time than a regular working Joe.)

Seems completely plausible.
I turned $100 to $17k in 12 months.
I'd barely played any poker at the time of my $100 deposit.
Seeing how Jesus is a pro, it seems like it'd be a breeze.

the only issue would be running well at the beginning.

certainly some truth there.

According to his interview in Bluff about this, he had Annie Duke transfer the $1 to him.
He actually busted-out the first time and had to have her transfer another $1.

So he actually went from $2 to $20k.

And I turned $100 into $0 in only two months!

Pacific gave me a free $10 when I signed up at their site. 6 months later it was $16k. I started out at 5cent/10cent and moved up to the next level every time I had 250 BBs.

edit-until I hit 5/10 where I made it home for a while
