The simpliest system is to go all in with pocket Aces if your stack is more than 10 Big Blinds, once the stack/blind ratio is under 10, go all in with any pair, any Ace suited, Ace-King, or suited connectors. Otherwise you fold. In Chen and Ankenman's "Mathematics of Poker", they print the mathematical solution to the jam or fold strategy (page 136) and suggest it is the optimal strategy for stack/blind under 10.
Hmmm... Only playing aces until you get to 10 bb is going to get you crushed in most MTTs. You are better off getting your money in bad a few times, IMO. Harrington's red zone. Equilibrium strategy. ICM strategy. Most of the poker eggheads have something to say about playing push/fold short. It is an essential part of tournament play. I suspect KP is talking about something a bit different.
