Oh I bet you do...
(t'was just joking dude)
No worries. That's why I'm a pro.
But seriously, if it were so good to play KG as White and bad to play as Black....you would see a lot more great players playing it as White. Anyway, if you are not prepared (of course I always am prepared and booked-up) then it can be a big surprise as Black.
My current favorites:
White: 1.d4
Black: Nimzo (or Bogo)
Kings Gambit as white
Black I enjoy the scandinavian, even though I don't play it in slow games, and the stonewall, which I do enjoy playing in games
White: Queen's gambit
Black: Caro-Kann v E4, QGD v D4
White:
1. Queen's Gambit.
2. Catalan Opening.
3. Ruy Lopez.
Black:
1. Sicilian Najdorf
2. King's Indian Defence
I like the Max Lange Attack, but in forty years of trying I've never got more than about six moves into the main line before my opponent makes a second-best choice. I'm probably biassed excessively by the Marshall-Tarrasch game.

Sorry, that is correct! As Black, my favorite defense is the French.
A popularity contest...
