It asks opener to reply with the most interesting information about his hand. Unfortunately, there are times when you don\u2019t have anything special to show, whether it\u2019s about distribution, extra strength or even a stopper in the fourth suit. In this case, you must use a \u201cgarbage\u201d bid.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. The classic system and its disadvantages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic system consists in repeating opener\u2019s first suit as a \u201cgarbage\u201d bid. While this can be attractive after a major suit opening, it is not when opener\u2019s first suit is a minor. Some experts have realized that the chances of holding five cards in the second suit are lower after an opening in a minor suit. On the other hand, it could be attractive to describe an unbalanced hand with supplemental length in the first suit. Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-9ef00d8\" data-block-id=\"9ef00d8\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-9ef00d8-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-91d188d\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"91d188d\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-91d188d-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-91d188d-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-2-44.png\" alt=\"Deal 2\" class=\"wp-image-77131\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-9259f07\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"9259f07\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-9259f07-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-9259f07-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-3-49.png\" alt=\"Deal 3\" class=\"wp-image-77132\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first example, it is easy to see that bidding 3&#x2663; takes up a lot of space. What is more, in the classic system, you cannot tell if opener has four Clubs without interest or if he has five good cards or even six or seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second example, it\u2019s less annoying to bid 2&#x2666; because it is the lowest possible bid. However, responder does not know more  about opener\u2019s distribution when the latterrebids 2&#x2666;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we look at the third example, if you bid 3&#x2666; as &#8220;garbage&#8221;, responder can raise neither Diamonds nor Clubs without going past 3NT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the fourth example, it\u2019s different. 2&#x2665; is the cheapest bid, so it is more attractive to use it. However, since responder has no Heart support, he probably wants to know for sure if you have a fifth Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-b02bd3d\" data-block-id=\"b02bd3d\"><style>.stk-b02bd3d{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Presentation of our innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to avoid all these problems discussed above, many experts have decided to use opener\u2019s second suit as a \u201cgarbage\u201d bid<br>when the opening bid is a minor and responder\u2019s first reply is at the one-level. This way of doing things leaves more bidding space most of the time (except when the fourth suit is 2&#x2663;). But above all, as you will discover in the following, it allows responder to have a more precise idea of opener\u2019s distribution and to show a fit the minors before 3NT. Here are the \u201cgarbage\u201d bids of the new system of replies to a fourth suit forcing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-425f25d\" data-block-id=\"425f25d\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-425f25d-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-9ff70f4\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"9ff70f4\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-9ff70f4-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-9ff70f4-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-4-44.png\" alt=\"Deal 4\" class=\"wp-image-77133\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-cada3c9\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"cada3c9\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-cada3c9-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-cada3c9-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-5-34.png\" alt=\"Deal 5\" class=\"wp-image-77134\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This implies of course that one can no longer use a repetition of the second suit to describe five cards.

With five bad Diamonds or only four cards, you would choose to repeat your Spades (2&#x2660;) to show an unremarkable hand with neither a Club stopper, nor three Hearts, nor five good Diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In example 2 , you have no new information to give to partner. No Heart stopper and a balanced hand without five good Clubs: you must use the \u201cgarbage\u201d bid 2&#x2660;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In example 3 , it would of course be very interesting to describe your 5-5 two-suiter by bidding 3&#x2663;. From the moment that you decide to play that the repetition of the second suit is \u201cgarbage\u201d, this is impossible. This is why I suggested in a previous article to switch the two bids in this case. 3&#x2666; shows the 5-5 and 3&#x2663; is the \u201cgarbage\u201d auction. That way, responder can show a Diamond fit over 3&#x2663; without going past 3NT. When we look at responder\u2019s actions after 3&#x2666;, it is true that he now has less space, but opener\u2019s more unbalanced distribution makes it easier to go past 3NT by raising one of his minors at the four-level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fourth example, you want to show that you have five Spades. For this you have to repeat your Spades. But be careful, 2&#x2660; would be the \u201cgarbage\u201d bid. You therefore have to jump to 3&#x2660; to show the fifth Spade. In doing so, you also show your six Diamonds, since with a 5-5, you would have opened 1&#x2660;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-449f503\" data-block-id=\"449f503\"><style>.stk-449f503{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

But as you have seen previously, in this new system, 2&#x2660; becomes the garbage bid and therefore 3&#x2663; shows at least five good Clubs. Knowing about five good Clubs (or even six) and at least a 5-4 allows East to go higher than 3NT without a problem. With his four-card support, the doubleton King in opener\u2019s second suit, and Ace-King and Ace in the side suits, all of East\u2019s points are useful for a Club contract. Therefore he can say 4&#x2663;, which he could never have done over a \u201cgarbage\u201d 3&#x2663;.

The innovation is that the \u201cgarbage\u201d bid is 3&#x2663;. This way of doing things allows East to raise Diamonds without going past 3NT. If you play 3&#x2666; \u201cgarbage\u201d as proposed by the classic system, East will probably go higher than 3NT, which however is the contract that should be played here. We see that thanks to this new agreement, East can first raise Diamonds and then, when his partner bids 3&#x2660;, announce 3NT, thinking to himself that there can no longer be a slam if West is 5-4 and rather minimum (if West is 6-4 or has additional points, he can bid on over 3NT, knowing about the Diamond fit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-89e3eef\" data-block-id=\"89e3eef\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-89e3eef-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-a484840\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"a484840\"><style>.stk-a484840{align-self:center !important}@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-a484840{flex:1 1 calc(57.3% - var(--stk-column-gap,0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-a484840-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-a484840-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-13-14-1024x377.png\" alt=\"Deal 13\" class=\"wp-image-77143\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-a0c0f59\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"a0c0f59\"><style>.stk-a0c0f59{align-self:center !important}@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-a0c0f59{flex:1 1 calc(42.7% - var(--stk-column-gap,0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-a0c0f59-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-a0c0f59-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-14-14.png\" alt=\"Deal 14\" class=\"wp-image-77144\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing that the garbage bid in this sequence is 2&#x2660; leads to 3&#x2666; showing an unbalanced hand.

Therefore, he marks time by first bidding 3&#x2665; and only then 3NT, leaving West free to bid knowingly (East did not bid 3NT directly over 3&#x2666;). West understands the message and goes past 3NT and the pair are now on their way to the slam. This would have been more difficult to reach if East had had any doubts about the 3&#x2666; bid showing an unbalanced hand. Maybe he would have quickly signed off in 3NT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-d464c71\" data-block-id=\"d464c71\"><style>.stk-d464c71{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-stackable-blockquote stk-block-blockquote stk-block stk-d01f931 is-style-highlighted\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"d01f931\"><div class=\"has-text-align-left stk-block-blockquote__content stk-container stk-d01f931-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-ad618e2\" data-block-id=\"ad618e2\"><style>.stk-ad618e2 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-ad618e2 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:#d989bd !important}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-ad618e2\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-ad-618-e-2-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-ad-618-e-2-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 50 50\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M19.8 9.3C10.5 11.8 4.6 17 2.1 24.8c2.3-3.6 5.6-5.4 9.9-5.4 3.3 0 6 1.1 8.3 3.3 2.2 2.2 3.4 5 3.4 8.3 0 3.2-1.1 5.8-3.3 8-2.2 2.2-5.1 3.2-8.7 3.2-3.7 0-6.5-1.2-8.6-3.5C1 36.3 0 33.1 0 29 0 18.3 6.5 11.2 19.6 7.9l.2 1.4zm26.4 0C36.9 11.9 31 17 28.5 24.8c2.2-3.6 5.5-5.4 9.8-5.4 3.2 0 6 1.1 8.3 3.2 2.3 2.2 3.4 4.9 3.4 8.3 0 3.1-1.1 5.8-3.3 7.9-2.2 2.2-5.1 3.3-8.6 3.3-3.7 0-6.6-1.1-8.6-3.4-2.1-2.3-3.1-5.5-3.1-9.7 0-10.7 6.6-17.8 19.7-21.1l.1 1.4z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-84a3007\" data-block-id=\"84a3007\"><style>.stk-84a3007 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-84a3007 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong>Brand new trash can:<\/strong><br>After fourth-suit forcing, opener uses a rebid of his second suit as a &#8216;garbage&#8217; bid, indicating that he has nothing special to say and freeing up space for responder.
