Like many things in life, a lot of poker players look for the "silver bullet" that will immediately give them the winning formula. Just like losing weight, or learning a sport, or learning a language, there is no quick fix.
Whilst the strategy that you have outlined would probably allow you to have a positive ROI at lower buyin SNGs (because it's tight and pretty aggressive when the biggest failing of most new players is simply playing too many hands too passively) it does not mean that it is the optimal way to play. The only way to learn this is through experience over many thousands or tens of thousands of hands.
What makes it harder is that correct decisions do not immediately result in positive outcomes. For example, it's folded to you in the SB with 99, blinds are 100/200, your stack is 1300, BB has 1400 and you shove all in, BB shows KK, you don't spike a 9, you're out. This DOESN'T mean your decision was incorrect. Conversely, making horrible decisions can sometimes yield nice results, eg. full table, blinds 50/100, your stack 1400, you limp in from UTG with A2 soooted, all fold to button who raises to 400, blinds fold, and you call. Flop comes all your suit, all the money goes in on the flop and you just pwn Button's AA.
The only way is to play lots and lots of hands - but the good news is that the learning process can be sped up by posting hands and tourneys on FTR. Good luck! (or should I say, good skill).
