Chris "Jesus" Ferguson "proved" an application of this theory back in ~2009 [1]. He was a the time promoting Full Tilt and commited to turn $1 dollar bankroll to $10000 by applying a basic strategy of never using more than a low % of his bankroll into one tournament or cash game session.

So, if one's skill would turn your session probability to +EV, by limiting your losses and using the fact that in poker the strongest hands or better tourney positions would give you a huge ROI, it would be just a matter of time and discipline to get to a good bankroll.

Just remember that for the better part of this challenge he was averaging US$ 0.14/hour, and it took more than 9 months.
