Thanks for the informative video. I am wondering if most of this can be avoided by simply playing 5... c5 instead of advancing the h-pawn.

It's interesting the video of gotham is suggesting to defend the D4 pawn with c3 so it's different that here it isn't a problem. Could you tell me if the differents of move order how does affect the effectivity of the opening?

They should have called it "the 1200 ELO Gambit". I'd be more than happy if a GM would play this "gambit" against me. Why would you blunder your knight on f7 and hope that the opponent will play bad after being up a knight?
