What do you like playing against the Sicilian? I am a Anti-Sicilian player. I play the Smith-Morra Gambit

Open Sicilians mostly. I like the occuring positions.

I started out playing the Kia exclusively against the sicilian, have since learned specific variations, it makes life much easier getting ready for tournaments

What's the best way to learn about playing against Sicilian? I don't always do well against it.

I have had good luck with ponziani opening...1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 or Nc6 3. c3. KIA is Kings Indian Attack. I have played it once in live and won, and I am pkayingvit currently in 2 games. I don't think I have lost using ponziani!
