I can't tell you how often I use this sweep, other than to say I use it all the time from various positions. This video shows just one setup for the sweep, but like many techniques, there are a lot of ways to enter into it. One of my favorite alternative setups is using it to escape from side control. It's a little more tricky and not as high of a percentage move as the method shown here, but it's there if the timing and position are right. And when it's pulled off correctly, it's a real mind bender on your opponent. Even this one in the video will leave your opponent wondering what in the heck just happened.

Nice variation, I'm gonna try this with the gi next session and see if it adapts well.
I originally learned this sweep as a gi sweep. Since you'll have a sleeve and a gi grab at the waist (or belt), it's actually much easier to get. I hope it helps and would be interested to hear how it works out for you. The first time I taught it in class, one of my purple belts turned right around and used it on me during open mat.
