So is it any good? Don't give me any of the "Your a beginner-don't learn openings". I just want to know if its good and good continuations.

Really, the main thing I am worried about is 2...d4, and after that white has slower development with the b1 knight blocked away  from its natural square and the d pawn of blacks (d4) seems to control the center. I may be contradicted myself through explaining what I don't like about it, but I do really like it.

It's ok but not a real gambit cuz white can get the pawn back with 3. Qa4+. peshka.png

The Reti gambit is viable, I like to use it.

It is a little more abstract, as white can get definitely get some compensation for the pawn down in terms of space and development. 75% of the time, it leads to unclear positions, so it is up to both players to make sense of the game.

A few critical lines:

or black can reject the pawn:

The key thing to keep in mind is that if you learned opening principles, you should get a pretty equal game with chances for both sides.
