opening analysis

i've recently been trying out the tartakower versus the sicilian defense (as seen here):

i've also been looking to sacrificing the same pawn in the old sicilain as well (as seen here):

this opening does have a lot greater winning percentage for black though (according to the chess.com database). just wondering what others thought about this. any ideas/variations you might think are interesting? all comments welcome!

Wouldn't this be likely to transpose into Smith Morra ?

it is similar, and i do enjoy the morra gambit.

It's a great opening if you know what you're doing.
