Dodgy openings

I recently tried employing the Albin counter gambit. I have had varying degrees of success with this, from totally annihilating my opponent with the Lasker trap to the complete opposite end of the spectrum and having my butt licked instead. I guess it all boils down to if your opponent is familiar with the opening or not.

I stopped doing '1. e4' a long time ago. I found it started getting boring. I find d4 creates more open attacking games on both sides.
