Firstly, I realise that this probably doesn't warrant a new topic, and that this question must have been asked before, however my searches didn't turn up what I was looking for. Also, the newbie question thread seems to be locked, so, with apologies for what is no doubt a stupid question, here goes:
I recently read this post:

Great advice, but I simply do not understand these parts:

A little special advice for the few times that it's folded to you when you are in the small blind. Play this situation as the exact same as you would in late position except if you have QQ,KK,AA and AK. If you are dealt one of those hands you should simply call the small blind. If the big blind raises, you go all in.

If you raise two dollars with AA and got called by a tight player holding 22 and the 22 made trips and won all your money, it's not a bad beat, you got outplayed. Here's how we're going to avoid this. If there is a raise and a reraise before it gets to you, simply go all in. You'll get called enough to make this worhtwhile. The thing with this play is if it happens four times and you get called once, then it's pretty close to playing perfectly, and you won't ever make the mistake of putting money in when you're beat on the flop.

Yes, you wont make the post flop mistake consciously, but isn't that irrelevant as when you're beat on the flop the correct pre flop play has now in a sense automatically become a post flop mistake?

So if you have 30 and someone with more money raises it 2 to you, raise it to 10. Then whatever the flop comes, go all in.

How do the above three quotes make sense? I mean, even if this strategy has worked two, three, even four times in a session surely if you're always going all in in certain situations the time will (and in my experience not that infrequently) come when you'll lose your stack, and thus all the good play and profit that came before hand is wasted. How does this play ever add up to a profitable method?
Thank you in advance for any helpful replies, and please be gentle with this somewhat confused newbie =)
