Optimal strategies, hand ranges, pre flop and post flop play etc. I've played TAG without tilt and that certainly gave me consistent results without stressing over EV, pot odds, outs etc. Just played premiums if I hit on the flop i continued if I don't and face a big raise I fold that's all which makes me wanna relearn poker and forget all these complex things

You have to figure out what works for you personally, but I don't think you will go far in improving your game over the long run without at least some work to learn and use the fundamentals.

The recipe for success in poker is to play shorter fields, always where you are better than the field, and to always try to study the game to constantly evolve, have a lot of discipline, persistence, and work on your mindset.

The only way to win a poker tournament is to sit with all the chips when the last hand is dealt.

You are great at the fundamentals, EV, TAG, etc. But you also will get some perspective from playing many games. The more hands you see, the more you will learn. Sometimes,the fundamentals say," give up on this hand.." , and it ends up the board pairs, the flush or straight get there, you never know. And all the EV, probabilities, do not account for being card dead, you just stop getting cards for a length of time.
It's good to learn, and absorb knowledge, but you also need a short memory: great cards and no cards do not go on forever; enjoy success when you can.

I've found that having the right timing is the best way...I slow grind in the beginning and I make a few stabs at big pots with low risk, then I pressure other players near the bubble and on the final table.

You forgot to include the percentage of luck, which is perhaps 98%.

I haven't won many tournaments in my online poker career, but you can't win without luck. Sometimes you get an amazing hand at the final table.
(Or is it just the memories that make these tournaments more beautiful?)
