I rarely self identify at the gate, however I tend to stick with airlines within oneWorld.
I rely on monitors displaying the flight information at the gates. I also usually ask in the lounge if there are any changes as information screens have been known to be incorrect.
However, if I am unfamiliar with an airline, I usually identify myself at the gates, though mainly for the boarding procedures can flummox me due to verbal instructions.
