I've been trying to learn the Stafford. I don't understand what to do against the advance. Can y'all also suggest me someone to learn the Stafford from?

The solution is avoided the Stafford Gambit and just play 3...d6 like a normal human being!

1.e4 e5! 2.Nf3 Nf6! 3.Nxe5 Nc6?? (3...d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 with equality!)
