Barley on Bridge Emotions Rise Over Pre-Emptive Bids
Barclay notes that some players react emotionally to pre emptive bids and view them as personal affronts. They bid their own suit in anger, presuming their partner can supply the necessary cards, often resulting in costly nets even when a game was unlikely for either side.

In a 1939 contract with South dealer and vulnerability East-West, a 4 hearts opening by West triggered a discussion on pre emptive bidding. South failed to make contract despite a strong dummy, while North’s planned play could not salvage the hand.
