Aggressive openings for black after e2-e4,e7-5,g1-f3?

Maybe the word "openings" is wrong. But here is my situation:

- I´m not too good

- I´ll play a game with 8 min. on my clock and I´m not good with little time

- I´ll play black and exspect my opponent to try the kings gambit. So I want to try the folksbeer gambit against it. But sometimes he goes for the italian opening. Usually I like to play the french defense. But once I decided to try the folksbeer, I can´t go for french defense after e7-e5. 

Can you recommend some good openings for black after e2-e4, e7-e5, g1-f3? Since I´m not a good player, and specialy not, when it comes to games with little time on the clock, an aggressive answer might be good for me. This way I might have a chance, not to loose by time.

Are there any games or openings, I could look up?

the opening explorer will give you the names if you make the moves.  It only goes about 4 deep if you did not pay, but that is enough to get the name to go search the web on it.

well in that opening you have to defend the pawn next.  Nc6 can lead to bishop attacks knight (Bb5).  One response to this is Nd4, which can be nasty for white if a mistake is made.  From here really depends on how white handles it.  You probably want to play this setup 5 or so ways as white to see what you need to do.  If white messes up you go hostile, if not, develop sensibly.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 f5

All three of these require significant preparation to attempt for Black or you'll just be worse.  In fact if White knows what to do you will be worse anyway.

I would say, play what you know.  Besides, if you normally prefer the French, why are you thinking about the Falkbeer anyway? That leads to a wide open position.
