The Pesky Orangutan.....

Ok, so I'm supposed to play an opponent next week who plays 1. b4. I beleive I have found a line that is good against his line 3. f4!?. If you found that I have played incorrectly, plz comment. BTW, plz open the move list to look at variations.
You played well but your biggest blunder was taking the pawn, but it seems he doesn't know the correct trap (at least from what I know on the topic).
I was playing the polish for awhile myself. while i was playing it, i learned 2 main things.
1, b4 is simply not as strong as e4 or d4. white has to play twice as precise and perfect to simply stay even with black. but this is irrelevant to you
2. but i also learned to most dangerous defense to the polish which i always play now when vs polish players. the out flank variation 1...c3. look it up. i considerate the polish nightmare because it robs his offense of the benifits he is trying utilize, and it puts him on the defensive for basically the entire game!
never ever ever ever play 1...e5,2.Bb2 , f6. that leads to the tartakower gambit. a polish players dream come true

Besides the fact that this is only an opening exploration, not a game. Also, Bxb4 is no blunder. The idea is to take away the b5 advance, get quick development, and hopefully an attack.
