The point count method of hand evaluation was first proposed in 1914 and popularized in 1934 by Milton Work. The Banzai Method advanced by David Jackson and Ron Klinger improves on Milton Work by reassessing the relative values of the honour cards but also adds a further dimension to accurate hand evaluation by including the tens and is of crucial importance when assessing balanced hands. According to Eric Kokish, an internationally respected American authority, who has contributed the Foreword, the many example deals are an eye-opener. When you finish this book, it is unlikely that you are going to look at your hand the same way as you have in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Klinger,David Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0297859986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780297859987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e George Weidenfeld \u0026amp; Nicholson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Ron Klinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483446718719,"sku":"9780297859987","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_082eed37-23c5-4cae-b215-d3a104a049c7.jpg?v=1778038791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/better-balanced-bidding-ron-klinger-9780297859987","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
