Normally I am pretty confident with the Sicilian Defense but I often feel uncertain when I get into the following position. I was just wondering if anyone has any good ideas? I also Included what I normally do in this situation.

I would play 3...Nf6 instead of 3...Nc6, then white genrally plays 4.Nc3. If Ng5, then ...e6

Usually black will steer for an e6 Sicilian against Bc4. It ends a lot of the tactics White will be trying and generally the Bishop will be misplaced.

1. e4 c5

2. Bc4 e6
