[b]Gap theory - you need a better hand to play against someone who has already opened the betting than you would need to open yourself.[/b]
 
I am having a hard time getting use to using the gap theory in tournament poker.  I am still afraid that the people behind me are holding a monster or better cards than me.
 
Example:
Full 10 person holdem table.  You are in middle position (5th to act) and it is folded to you.  You have QJ and you should raise.  You are stating that I think this hand can hold up against the five remaining hands.
 
You are suppose to loosen up you starting hands the later you are in positon and the first to act to bet.

As I am writing this i just dawned on me why.
 
If your 7th to act and it has been folded to you, you can now look at the table as just playing 4 handed at a final table.  When playing against just 3 people you should open up your starting requirements.
 
Comments welcome.
