I was aware of the gap concept from the same place as frob. (got my quote, lol)
I do use it, but more when my game starts to loosen up. At the beginning of a tournament or when the table gets full again. I tighten up. If I come out firing, chances are I'm the favorite.
But as the table tightens up or more players drop. I open up, then I start applying things like the gap.
I'd say I start to loosen up, when there's 7 players left at the table. By the time it's 5 I'm fairly aggressive and I start raising preflop more. So then I apply the gap concept.
Like frob said

You have to watch yourself in the beginning of a tourney and a full table.
