I play 3... Bf5 against the Tennison and it's just an inferior blackmar diemer gambit in the Bf5 variation.

Having said this Bf5 against the blackmar diemer can get surprisingly tricky - one slip up and you're toast. But it's great training for trying to have precise defence and makes the Tennison gambit fairly easy (sorry).
