A Neat Opening Trick

 Hi, I witnessed this good opening trick. It doesn't always work, but it is really good at amateur players. Keep in mind, there are many variations of this. Do not play this if you are a passive player, this opening leads to some complicated positions.

Yes, I have. But I haven't found a good response to it other than 0-0.

4...bc5 is my favorite continuation... (traxler gambit). (after 5 nxf7 comes bxf2+ 6 kxf2 nxe4+ 7 kg1 qh4

I played as white in a game like that recently, psyduck.  I was expecting Qh4, but instead he played Qe7, looking for Qc5+.  I ran the game through the chess.com computer analysis afterwards, and apparently we both made quite a few mistakes throughout the game;  That opening leads to some complex positions.  >_<

I think 5...Na5 is better.
