Clark Kent would be a world class poker player because he would be able to use his X Ray vision to see your hole cards each and every time. Armed with this super power he would be able to make the optimal decision 100% of the time.
For mere mortals who do not have x ray vision we have to guess what our opponent is holding before making a decision. To try to guess the exact two cards that your opponent is holding would be a mistake. The good poker players assign ranges of hands for their opponents instead of specific hands.
When using the betfair poker promotion code, you need to ask yourself what hands your opponent could play this way, and how likely it is that he has. All of the time you are doing this there will be a little voice in your head trying to assign a subjective range - ignore it! Practice assigning objective hand ranges. You need to compare the likelihood of the hands that beat you with the hands that don’t and then make your decision.
Those using the betfair bonus believe that a range is like a funnel. The range starts pre flop or at the widest part of the funnel. Then your opponent will make a few decisions and as he does the range you assign to him will narrow - just like the funnel. Then you have the flop that contains a combination of cards and then more action. You slide a little further down that funnel and your opponents range should get narrower. By the time you have reached the river you will gain no more information. The board has been built and is now fixed and your opponent has carried out all of his actions. It is time to make a decision based on his range.
You have reached the end of the funnel.
