I've pointed out before (see "Worth the time?") that sometimes defending against the Jerome Gambit isn't worth a person's time...

blitz, FICS, 2010
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4 Ng6
Not a common reply: there are 15 games in the updated New Year's Database. Black retains a small edge, even though White scored 67% in those games.
9.Qd5+ Ke7 10.Qxc5+ d6 11.Qe3
11...Be6
Thoughtless development. After the game Rybka recommended 11...c5 12.d4 cxd4 13.Qxd4 Nf6 14.Nc3 Qb6 15.Qxb6 axb6 16.0-0 Kf7 17.Rd1 Rd8 18.f5 Ne5 19.Bg5 Ra5 and Blackhas an edge.
12.f5 Black resigned
Black will lose a piece for a pawn, leaving him down a pawn. That is not a horrible situation, but perhaps annoying enough to want to just start over with a new game.
