Jerome Gambit: Cautious in Bullet?

I wonder if it pays to be cautious in bullet chess. Fending off attacks with your clock ticking down can not be much fun. It's probably more enjoyable to choose a wild opening like the Jerome Gambit, and just hack away.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6   

The Semi-Italian Opening, according to past world champion Euwe. It is also called the Anti-Fried Liver Defense, I suppose because it keeps a White Knight out of g5, where it plans to sacrifice itself on f7. If Black was planning with 3...h6 to protect f7 in this game, he was sorely disappointed.

4.Nc3 Bc5 5.Bxf7+ 

The Semi-Italian Jerome Gambit. Compare with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nc3 h6. The pawn move may create more weakness than it is worth.

 5... Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.Qh5+ Ke6

When you have a couple of pieces for a couple of pawns, and Stockfish 10 rates you as only +1 pawn, you have to know that your opponent has some serious dynamic potential. That is Black's situation at this point.

8.f4 Nc4 

Hoping to save one of the two hanging pieces, but actually surrendering both. The phlegmatic 8...d6 was the move. 

9. Qf5+ Ke7 10.Qxc5+ Nd6 11.e5 

11... b6 12.exd6+ cxd6 13.Qe3+ Kf7 14.O-O Nf6

White is better (material, development, pawn structure, King safety).

15.d3 Re8 16.Qf3 Kg8

Oversight. A 1 minute, no increment time control is brutal. 

17.Qxa8 Ba6 18.Qxd8 Rxd8 19.Bd2 Bb7 20.Rae1 Ng4 21.h3 Nf6 22.Ne4 Nd5 

23.Bc3 Ne7 24.Nxd6 Bc6 25.Rxe7 Rf8 

26.Rxg7+ Kh8 27.Rxd7+ Kg8 28.Rg7+ Kh8 29.Nf7+ Rxf7 30.Rxf7+ Black resigned
