The extended gap concept
Then you should reraise if your hand figure to in the top 50% of all hands you don’t pass. Thus you raise if your hand is in the top 16%. The gap between 16% and 50% I refer to as the extended gap concept. I would have preferred to use the term ratchet principle, but Sklansky got there first. This applies to all poker games, but what such percentages mean is partly up to you.

If the betting comes to you in poker, then you should bet or raise provided your hand is in the top 50% of all hands. However, another player interferes and raises £100 into a £100 pot before it is your turn. Clearly you must reassess your action and take note that you are getting 2/1 odds. Thus you should pass unless your hand is in the top 33%. Sklansky calls the gap between 33% and 50% the gap concept.
