I have used this openings for some years, why? They are fun

interesting
I do play the Smith Morra too, but I don't think white risks so much wiht it, so I haven't placed it on this list.

I do not think this is bad, but I play the Italian Gambit, Evans Gambit, and the Traxler Counterattack.
I have tryed the Italien gambit, and Evans gambit, but I prefer this move order.

Whatever your openning may be , the most important thing is to be at liberty to change the pattern of play when the necessity arise. That leaves you more initiative for attack.
