I think c6 is better, it won't let Nb5... Then maybe black should play g6 Bg7 and castle.

Every now and then White throws a trick opening at me that I totally bungle because I don't know a solid canned response. I know enough not to play into Fool's Mate, and can defend against Scholar's Mate. I found this guide helpful in dealing with 2. Qh5: http://www.rockfordchess.org/instruction/minilessons/Opening%20Trap%20-%201.e4%20e5%202.Qh5.pdf
How about this one?
At this point if I don't make the right move (and I usually don't), it's Nb5 then Nxc7 and I'm in trouble. What should I do? Is 3... c5 really the best response?
