Today, I finally made it, again, to the very informal chess club that meets at a local library every-other-week.
I played three over-the-board games and won them all - none of them a Jerome Gambit, alas, as I had achieved earlier; in part because I had the Black pieces in two of the games.
Still, I was feeling rather Jerome-ish. All of the games ended with a checkmate.
My opponent in each game played some innocuous moves that gave me tempos that I then used in preparing and executing my attacks - something that was reinforced from playing the Jerome. This is likely a theme in some of your own Jerome Gambit games, as well.
I was guided by he maxim Three pieces and an attack; yet was happy to exchange Queens to eliminate a defender or to avoid slowing down my initiative.
True, I may get my (chess) clock cleaned* next time, but for now I feel just fine.
(*The idiom "getting your clock cleaned" means to be thoroughly defeated or beaten, often in a competitive context)
