Hand Evaluation in Bridge

How to adjust the point-count method to access the true value of your hand

Back Cover:

TTHE MILTON WORK POINT-COUNT METHOD (ace = 4; king = 3; queen = 3; jack = two) is a long-established tool for evaluating a hand. However, it is only a rough-and-ready guide which should not be used slavishly. The location of high cards, and, of course, the distribution, is a major factor and two combined hands totalling 20 points might produce a slam, while two other totalling 30 points might have no play for game.

Judging the quality of your points is a difficult aera, but the author, an experienced International who is both a professional player and writer, presents a number of ground rules which should improve your bidding judgement.
