3.?...? etc etc
I think the moves to look for with black are Nf6, d5 and g6, depending on what white does. usually the first concern is to deal with Qh5, usually by Nf6.

also worth pointing out (as this book does) that you can avoid most, if not all, anti-dutch lines by playing 1. ... e6 and 2. ... f5
Obviously, though,
(a) you have to be prepared to answer 2. e4 with a French or some such ... although this only happens about once every three or four years in my experience.
(b) this move order is no good if you want to play the Leningrad system.
