I know I am late to this but after reading this thread, one thing is very clear. The people who actually play anti-fried lever will not reply to you in here. Because they know they can't defend the fried lever and they don't want to learn or calculate all good moves.
One thing that remains a mystery is what people mean by "anti-fried liver". I don't think that's the real name of a real opening.

They call it that way, because weaker players are so scared of 4 Ng5 d5 5 exd5 Nxd5 6 Nxf7, that they think they must avoid it with 3...h6. They ignore that 5...Na5 is strong.
That h6 move is just a beginner mistake, not a real opening. Disappointing.
@55
There are many more beginner mistakes with names, e.g. Damiano Defense 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f6?

That's a special case. It was Damiano who first wrote that f6 is a bad move, so naming the move after him is both a misnomer and an insult. We all should refrain from doing so.
3. h6 I would be and was smiling every time. Thanks for the tempo and center! Oh, you don’t think it’s a big deal? Let’s see if you will continue thinking that way.
